I want to convert my vehicles headlights to Xenon/HID. Does Hella sell Xenon (HID) retrofit kits for my vehicle?
No. The Xenon or HID “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 modified Halogen headlight housing will not give the proper light pattern. This is due to the fact that reflectors manufactured for Halogen bulbs and reflectors manufactured for Xenon capsules are very different in design and are not compatible. The result is usually a large amount of glare and scattered light that can blind oncoming drivers. Because these kits are illegal, Hella does not sell or endorse any Xenon retrofit kits.
