I have to admit, my directional Xenons are one of my favourite features of my Z.

Can xenons be retro fitted? Did they make them for the MK1 as well as the MK2?

 

[Verminator]

Yes they made them on both mark 1 & 2...

Note that you then also must install the automatic headlight washers so cut or replace bumper and get it all wired up.

What's the deal with headlamp washers? I have disabled them on my Chrysler. Waste of washer water and doesn't make any difference!

Legal requirement in the UK with Xenon headlights, as is the self levelling device.

I wipe mine with Glass cleaner works great & stops RTF build up !

Retro fitted xenons are just a kit but as the oem lamp wasn't built to take them they are now an MOT failure in UK unless you change the lamps for xenon lamps.
Then as above you need headlight washers. As for LED headlight bulbs I wouldnt bother after market tech doesnt seem to have caught up yet with the new cars fitted with them i.e Merc AMG etc. Lots of them for sale with a poor illegal beam with no throw just a white lighthouse effect.

They even do not wash/spray onto the headlights where actually the light is emitted. They wash more or less the outer part of the headlamp. Indeed, pretty useless on the face-lifted RCZ.
