Xenon Upgrade Black Chrome Reflectors Pictures Included.
Here are some pictures of the headlight upgrade (halogen to bixenon) I was working on.
I tried to emulate black chrome on the reflectors. Although they arent as reflective as I had
hoped the color plays nice with the platinum blue. Any thoughts are welcome.
Also I polished the fog lights sorry I dont have before and after but they were full of rock chips.
If anyone could shed some light on why or if its normal that the xenon lights work
with no issues with the engine off but flicker and intermittently turn on and off with the engine
on? This is before having xenon set to present and something I noticed while taking my car
to get a smog check which i couldnt do cuz I need to complete a drive cycle. The bulbs are
osram CBI, its easier to see the lights in the video clip. Let me know what you guys think
how much is the dealer going to charge me to set xenon to present, im in so cal. im assuming
at least 1500 lol. I'm gonna go into keyes benz and just yoink! grab all the cookies and dr.pepper.
