| swapping 2012MY Halogen to 2015 Xenon |
|
Besides the CCF coding are there any changes needed for swapping lights as per title ?
I have a 2014 style Powerfuluk grill fitted but not sure if the lights are different shapes on the inner edge
TIA

yep - its the filler strip size gap which I don't think is needed with the Powerful kit but each to their own. much better to go whole hog and get the MY14 bumper  Stolen - D4 Loire Blue

would like to but one thing at a time.... or at least that's what my bank balance tells me
its in for full service, and diff and TB oils on Friday, then MOT the week after.
ive just got the lights and fitted them, so I can see whats needed. Ill be putting in an order to Powerful next week for a new grill (again!) filler strip and some black rear lights to complete the upgrade less the front bumper.
The Xenons have basically worked straight out the box, indicators work ok, dipped beam works ok and sidelight strips work ok.
Just need to get them coded properly so the main/flash beam and the DRL strip work as they should. Well happy bunny  2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten

Currently you have a pre My14 model with a MY14 'style' grill.
If you are changing to MY14 lights, you will need a MY14 grill for a MY14 model.
Edited to add, the check that then needs to be made is how it sits with a preMy14 bumper. I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

It seems powerfuluk have covered the bases with that.
I'll get a new aftermarket MY14 grill with filler strip off them to replace my current MY14 style grill.
The new aftermarket bits will then sit correctly with my MY12 bumper..... or should do  2011 D4 XS 305 MY12 - gone but not forgotten
