The way I read your post, you bought a factory set of litronic/Xenox headlights that you want to up grade with the kit you posted a link to. It's a good kit, I did it and it works great. It converts the dull factory xenon low, halogen high beam to bright xenon high and low beams. Definitely worth the money and easy to install.

JBauer, you are correct

Thank you for your response.

Did you do project 85 at the same time?

Did you go with a LED high beam bulb?

How is opening the headlight?

I started thinking of doing LED by Morimoto (TRS)

I had done bi-xenon FX-R 3.0 a while ago, so I am not afraid... but I am not sure about glue used and opening this assembly.

I haven't started yet

However I am going this this mod;

I do not intend to rem0ve lenses as this kit doesn't require it.

This is the YouTube video I am using for guidance;

I have used set of Litronics (Xenon to work with.

Getting the new projectors and getting rid of the halogens is a great improvement.
