I have a 08 XJ VDP. The plastic on the drivers side headlamp got cracked. Maybe a rock on the interstate, who knows. The turn signal works and the brights. But the xenon lights don't work.
To replace the entire assembly is more than $1500.
The replace with a non-xenon is $500.
Could I pair a non-xenon with a xenon and would that look terrible?
Any thoughts on my predicament would help. I can't drive at night unless I have the brights on, lest I get pulled over.

 

You posted to the wrong forum: post to the X350 forum.

I wish we had Xenon lights in the X308s

 

for our X308, we can always covert it to HID . so cheap

 

And such a difference if you have less than perfect vision (or are more or less blind . It got to the point with me that I felt dangerous to other's driving at night in the rain. EBay hid/xenon kits worked for me! Night and day difference from the old fashion lights that came with my 2011.

Typo-I meant 2001

 

Since we're on the subject, any recommendations on a HID kit for the side lamps?

 

I bought the cheapest HID kits I could find while living in China, used them for 4 years on my Jeep Grand Cherokee there, then brought them to Taiwan and use them for almost 2 years on my XJ.

Moral of the story: cheap does not always mean bad quality .

On the Jag, I use a set for the dipped headlights, and the other set for the fogs (which I use as DRL's).
Added 6000K conventional bulbs for the high beams, and LED's for the parking lights.
A perfect, same color, combo.

Just buy a xenon bulb/capacitor off Ebay. They're cheap and easy to put into your projector beam hardlight.

 

I'd like some more info on what you're using.. I'll PM you.

Thanks!

 

Yes, feel free to PM.
Pics from 1 1/2 year ago, after install:

LED for parking, HID for dipped, Superbright for the high's:

I am still considering to install HID or LED's for the high beams to further improve the reach.
The high beams with superbrights look cool, but add very little if switched on.
