Xenon retro fit

[hilts uk]

My car hasn't got xenons and the headlights are frankly dangerous driving where I live. How much is a retro fit for a GS and where can I source them?

 

[dickygrace]

They can be sourced from Maserati Uk but I believe they're around £4000, after market HID bulbs may be the best compromise.

I thought xenons were standard on the GS? If not i got lucky mine has them!

EEK. I think I will go for the aftermarket bulbs. Can you provide a link Dicky?

I was told my someone that you can retrofit it in kit for for about £100. Not sure if it will pass an mot as you need washers and self levelling, this is a kit for the 3200 can't see why it woundnt work on a 4200?

£75:

Here's a Philips one. There are other brands for less than 100 quid. 'Hids4u' is another site for them.

The 4200k is the OEM colour temp of most cars, 6000k is slightly blue in colour like some range rovers but not chav and still very effective.

It's easy to do but you'll have to drill a hole in your headlamp rear cap to fit all the cables through. The caps do have a contraption to fit some wires through but not all four needed in this conversion.

It's one of the first things I did to my car and it passed mot no problems with a straight clear beam pattern.

I used a 35w conversion but there are 55w conversions should you want the power of the sun at your fingertips.

Go for the H1 bulbs- Phillips Extreme

Have them just great and far superior than whats std on the non Xenon GS

Factory kit would involve new front bumper and front and rear wishbones to carry the self level system...hence the 4k

How can the MC Victory not be specified with Xenons?
You would have thought it would have every option ticked!

 

[hilts uk]

Thanks - ordered. Hopefully they come with instructions!

Bulbs or HID kit?

What would you fit to a 3200? Does it have the Projector or Reflector type of bulb kit? How can you tell?

 

[safrane]

3200 have the same headlights as a non xenon (HID) 4200/GS

 

[dem maser]

I have seen 3200s with xenons and they look great, was going to get mine done

 

[conaero]

For £100 and an afternoon on the spanners, I would do it as it makes a massive difference and to safety too.

 

[safrane]

As you will all be aware there are rules on xenon lights...so just make sure the lights are adjusted properly for the sake of other road users.

I see there is two available options to get the setup with….I am assuming that I would need the Projector type arrangement not the reflector type….correct?

Can you recommend a kit for the 3200?

I can't recommend one, sorry, just follow this link as this is what is listed on that site for the 3200, drop them a call to check.

I suppose the most important thing is to check your headlights are the same bulb type (H7) as the kit or they won't fit in the headlight bulb carrier, then I can't see an issue:
