OEM Xenon to LED?
I'm wondering if it's possible to replace the factory xenon bulb with an H7 LED. The factory pre-facelift xenons don't really throw a lot of light and they're very white, not much blue in them. The LEDs I have in my fog lights and front markers are 6000k, which is a white with a slight blue tint that I think looks great. I've also got some 6000k high beams/DRLs on the way. I'd like to get some LED low beams to match them, but I don't know if it's possible to do with the pre-facelift xenons.
- I know the pre-facelift headlight lenses are reflectors, doesn't this pose problems with light scattering improperly?
- I think HIDs in reflector lenses were required to have a leveling system to keep them out of people's eyes. Will this system still function with a different bulb?
- Can the ballast/xenon ignition system be removed without any extra coding or modules to replace it?

H7 is the bulb type. I have not done anything yet. I think I'll just end up retrofitting the facelift xenon assemblies and doing an LED bulb in those. But that's pretty low priority.
