Headlights

SO I currently have the stock halogens with aftermarket HID'S... I know Its a big deal trying to change to the factory xexons, ( dealing with coding and all) Do any of you guys think its possible to buy a xexon headlights remove the inserts and place them in the halogens casing, and using the factory halogens wiring? I would still be using my aftermarket HIDs.. What are your thoughts

If you are using an aftermarket HID with factory reflectors, you will cause all kind of glares for the other drivers on the road. I am not sure if you can retrofit a factory projector into the reflector housing. It will involve removing the lens and backing it back on. Its not a job for the novice.

Thanks for the info, I have taken headlights apart many times, I was going to remove the entire inserts on the projector and place in the halogens

Sounds like you have experience doing it, all you need to do is find a projector that will fit into the CM's halogen assembly. Please post some pics of your mod.
