From the research I've done so far, the Xenons are a straight swap with the old bulbs. They have a ballast unit for each bulb which plugs into the existing wiring loom for the old bulbs. A cable then goes from the ballast box to each Xenon bulb. The ballast boxes can be secured just behind the headlamp unit.

As for the clear corners/angel eyes. There are articles on this forum about them. HERE

I still haven't found anything about retrofitting the Xenon projectors into halogen units so would appreciate anyone who has info on that.

thanks staffop! you also mentioned that you have adaptive lights...what are those? im trying to figure out if i have adaptive lights as well.

i have a fairly good idea of taking the headlamps apart based on the articles and posts however my main interest is how to convert from halogen to xenon. apparently there's some wiring needed to ensure the "check low beam" warning light does not appear.
