2014 JCW convertible headlight upgrade question

Tried researching but info wasent clear. So I have a 2014 MCS JCW Convertible that has the factory halogens and I want to upgrade to Xenons(OEM) from a 2013 GP2. My halogens don't have washers. The new housings have the washers. Its not necessary to have the washers working(just don't want a hole where the washer sits). So as long as I have the housings,bulbs and ballasts how difficult is the swap?





Thanks
Jerry

No need to connect the headlight washers. My Clubman came from the factory with headlight washers, and they aren't even connected! They were only plumbed in when you ticked the card for the automatic headlight and windshield wipers option.

You may need to do some coding to the car to get them to work 100%, but should mechanically bolt right in.
