3onDubs · 11-09-2010, 04:40 PM

If I have OEM xenons and only want to swap out the housing....would that be possible?

sorry if repost....did a search for p82 and only came up with one thread

The OE units use a D1S bulb type and integrated ballast so you would need to modify the P82s to fit this bulb type.

I wonder how much work this would be.....or if baking the headlight would be easier.

Well if you purchase the P82s, you will be replacing the entire OE headlight including the OE projector. The OE projector provides the best output and cut off so if you have OE xenons on the car, I recommend sticking with those. The P82s are ideal for cars that do not come from the factory with xenons and want to upgrade.

lol more like you misread my post

. Im guessing you want to delete the amber from your oem light housing. The p82 is definitely a downgrade.
