Yep - it took all day. I'd got the new headlight in & working inside an hour, but then discovered that the levelling motors didn't work, so had to spend the rest of the day fiddling to refit the old ones in the new headlights.
Yes - every new car with Xenons is required by law to have automatic self levelling and headlight washers fitted - but there's no law covering retrospective conversions, so its a grey area. Nothing definitive one way or the other.....
I keep the lights clean and I diligently level them manually - so there really isn't a real issue, but there is a chance at MOT time that you could get picked up on them.
I'm keeping my old halogen units in case I need to refit them for an MOT, but I really could do with finding a normal halogen bulb that I could just fit into the projector headlight if I needed to at MOT time - otherwise its a bumper off job again and I'd rather avoid that....
Trouble is, as its a proper D2S bulb in the real Xenon projector headlights, I don't think there's a standard halogen bulb that will just swap out....
