Chris.sawyer1990 Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 New to this forum as i have just purchased my first zed. However, unfortunatly someone has decided to put aftermarket head and tail lights which are awful so im now on the look out for some origionals. Not even sure if the 54plate which i have can have the xenon lights? Any help would be grately apreciated. Chris Quote
KyleR Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 If it's a UK model, it will have Xenons as standard, but with there being aftermarkets on at the moment, we don't know if the OEM wiring has been bastardised or not. Fire up a few pics 1 Quote
Chris.sawyer1990 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks for thw reply, I would say they plug and play units but will check for deffinate later on. Quote
Chris.sawyer1990 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 After buying my first zed im now reliseing how difficult it is to actually find some origional parts. My car is on a 54 plate so im not even sure if my car would of had the xenon headlights. Any help would be grately apreciated Quote
SHEZZA Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Hi I've my original head and tail lights from my prefacelift 55 plate zed, which I was holding onto for if I ever went back to stock. Can't really ever see that happening so if your interested give me a PM. Quote

Hodaka Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Just out of curiosity, which aftermarket headlights you got? 1 Quote
Chris.sawyer1990 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 Id post a picture if i knew how to lol they have the idicator at the top a line of leds and 2 projector lenses side by side. Seem to be quite popular Quote
Hodaka Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 You mean like the pic below? Reason I'm asking is because I've recently been getting into headlights (weird interest I know ) so might be interesting in buying them off you, assuming you wana sell them after. Also in terms of pics, most people use PhotoBucket. A guide can be found here Quote
Chris.sawyer1990 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Posted October 3, 2016 Yes thats along the lines of the lights on my car. Think the one in the pic has got the halos which mine hasn't. Im just hoping that they are plug and play units so the loom hasn't been attacked. Well once i find some and get them fitted etc the others will be up for sail along with the chrome rear lights if your interested. Quote

Let me know - I'll keep an eye out for your sales thread as well. Also, I doubt they would have messed around with the car-side harness. From what I've seen, these are meant to be plug 'n play. Mine were plug 'n play, but the previous owner had cut off the OEM headlight connector and plonked it on these. Not sure why Quote
Chris.sawyer1990 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Posted October 4, 2016 Hopefully ill get no nasty surprises. Ill find at the weekend when i get the bumper of i suppose 😕 Quote
Willsy1980 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 If you were not so far from me i'd drive over and swap light for light :/ Quote
Chris.sawyer1990 Posted October 4, 2016 Author Posted October 4, 2016 Newbie question how do you know where im from? Lol my car has the bumper reflectors changed for led units also, these will be going aswell i think as they look rediculous. They are brighter than the bloody sun! Looked on ebay and someone spent £100 on then at some point... madness! Quote

Once you take those off you'll be able to sell those on here providing you meet the criteria for what you're selling & follow all the rules in the relevant sub section. Someone will buy those for definite. Quote
ZedManTID Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) You may find the wiring is cut if your car isn't an import. UKDM cars have a different plug, 8 pin IIRC. All the aftermarket lights I found have a 6 pin plug so have to be chopped to fit UK models Edited October 4, 2016 by ZedManTID Quote
Hodaka Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) Just out of curiosity, do people actually cut up the harness on the car side? Isn't it easier / better to do so on the side of the headlight connector? Not sure if I'm missing something, but it seems crazy to do it on the car side! Edited October 4, 2016 by Hodaka Quote
ZedManTID Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I found people are known to do both from previous research. Yes I agree, makes a lot more sense to swap the headlight side Edited October 4, 2016 by ZedManTID Quote
