Hey guys, yeah I saw the rust too. It's only natural as it's a totally northern car. Rust is a big issue for me, as I've worked on many rusty cars in my life. Makes every job an absolutely arduous and unpredictable task. Might go ok and just take twice as long, might require getting in new parts, bolts, blow torch, hacksaw, etc. That with the distance, leatherette interior, and halogens makes it a pass for me.
From everything I've read, swapping in stock US xenons and getting full functionality is still not possible. Best I've seen are retrofit to halogen housings, aftermarket hids (ugh), or euro spec lights which are not bi-xenon, auto leveling, or swivel.
Anyone else know something I don't about putting xenons in a halogen car? A big issue for me and my current car is the visibility at night. Becomes a safety issue and I would rather not deal with bad lights for another 10 years.
