Xenon to LED swap-2023
Car: 04 MCS - We have this car with Xenon headlights. They were cloudy and we wet sanded and they look ok but the xenon is terrible. I have to use the fog lights in order to see anything at night. I've swapped headlight housings on other cars with halogens and they've looked better and given slightly better light. I've seen a few threads on swapping to LED but they were old. Was wondering if there is any newer info that would allow us to swap in for example a DEPO headlight assembly and use LED bulbs?
It would be ideal to have something that is plug and play. I'd prefer to not have to open the housing or cut and splice wires if at all possible.
Is there any new intel out there??

The helix depo lights are NLA.
This is all we have left in the projector styler aftermarket and then upgrade to led with a conversion kit. You will need to match the older style bulb type through our ziza kits.
The older headlights will not do well with aftermarket LEDs as the lens is very yellowed.

Otherwise you would have to keep it stock and change out to the stock xenon headlights - PRE LCI Plug and play. Genuine MINI
