Does Hella sell Xenon (HID) retrofit kits for my vehicle?

0

No. The “retrofit” kits that are widely sold on the Internet are illegal and potentially harmful to other drivers. The only legal Xenon conversions are those that use factory parts designed for a specific model of vehicle and sold by the manufacturer as an optional upgrade. The Xenon headlamps are designed as a complete system that includes the bulb, reflector, lens, housing, ballast, and other specific parts. Merely using the bulb and ballast inserted into a Halogen headlight housing will not give the proper light pattern due to the fact that the reflectors are so different and are not compatible. The result is usually a large amount of glare and scattered light that can blind oncoming drivers.
