You can buy factory Xenon assemblies for about $900 per side ($1800 total), but you'll need to find the Xenon HID control module somewhere to go with it if you're trying to retrofit Xenon into a non-Xenon Cooper.

You might do better trying to find the parts you need at a junkyard.

Ooops. I thought you were talking about pulling out the factory halogen headlamps entirely and replacing the entire thing with the factory HID (aka Xenon) components.

I'm afraid I can't actually help you with the kit you've got ... maybe someone wiser than I can help out. Good luck!
