Upgraded To Signature Xenon Lights (from Halogen)

jasons · 24-02-2015 10:31pm

Hi all those that are interested- first post on an interesting issue...

To recap I was able to pick up some Signature Xenon lights cheaply and I raised some questions as I had read on here and elsewhere that others who had tried this had no end of problems in swapping them over.

I plugged one in, and it all worked fine, so this morning I changed both over- it was a relatively easy job (followed the unofficial guide on youtube) and it took about 30 minutes from start to finish.

So, some pictures:

Not sure why I havent had any issues with the lights cutting out- my Evoque is a March 2014 model so I'm not sure whether that makes a difference.

I did have some relays ready to install if I did have errors/lights cutting out, but so far, all good.

Perhaps you have different versions of the xenon headlights, one drawing more current than the other and tripping the safety breaker

Hmm, could be that mate!

Jason, what version number is on your lights?
