Was screwing around the other night off road in the rain and managed to hit a fence and broke both headlight housings, among a few other things, but the headlights are the biggest issue right now. Checked ebay and don't really feel like paying $250 a piece for used OEM HID units, this vehicle is mainly a winter beater and mountain biking rig with 265K miles on it already. Is it possible to convert it so I can get cheaper or aftermarket LED headlights for it, or should I start hitting up all the local wrecking yards and hope I can get a better price? I think the electronics are all ok, but the housings are pretty busted up, and winter is fast approaching with it getting dark earlier and earlier. Thanks

Can I convert Xenon HID headlights to normal or LED headlights?

Looks like most of the threads are for switching from halogens to HID units and require a trip to the dealership to get the AAM settings changed. I'm assuming I'd have to do the same to go to halogens. Guess I'll keep looking on ebay and check the local junk yards for HID units.
Compare the plugs from xenon to halogen headlights, if they're both the same you might be able to get away with getting a used halogen headlight assembly and throwing them on.
The MoT has changed and you must have the correct bulb in the headlight for the headlight type. So if it's a Halogen headlight, only halogen bulbs are allowed. Anything else is an MoT failure. It is also likely illegal as Halogen headlights are only E Marked for halogen bulbs. Let alone going through all the rhetoric about accidents and invalidation of insurance.
