1.) It's Xenon. and why on earth would you want to downgrade the headlights?

2.) unless you have the smartphone prep, (probably can not be retrofited), you are screwed... You have to use the Y cable...

1. Why would you want to reduce the light output from your headlights

2. Smart phone prep is needed to play music from your iPhone while in the armrest cradle. If you do not have smart phone prep it can be added just at a very high cost. There is at least one module that needs to be replaced plus a wiring harness that needs to be added. I.E about 15 hours of labor plus parts cost.
