R53: Swap Xenon for Halogen?
2006 JCW
I prefer the look of the halogen headlights.
Would it be a straightforward swap to convert to halogen?
Perhaps a downgrade in terms of emitted light, yes,
but an upgrade aesthetically in my opinion.
Any help/tips/thoughts appreciated.
Thanks.

Not a bad idea, thanks!
Just went looking at pre2005 xenons but they all appear to have the washers also.
Do all of the R53 xenons have the washers?
One of the reasons I prefer the look of the halogens is because they don't have the washers,
and also they just look more retro-classic as opposed to the alienlike xenons.

Yes we have done it as a plug and play swap. Many people install our aftermarket halogen kits as they look really good and come in black.

And if you do have issue we can code the car to know it has non xenons to make any light work.

Thanks Way.
After I get caught up with all the regular maintenance stuff on the car, I'll be making it back down to your shop for a tune and a few other various things.
