I think I have standard halogens in garage, but not got switch, although I have switch for xenon equipped car.

Paul, wouldn't be easier & cheaper to retro fit headlight washers to comply with the new MOT rules on Xenon headlights ?
IIRC they are the same on all E46 Coupes & Verts upto the 2001-02 facelift.

Shimmy,
No headlight washers or level sensors however the car has OEM xenon lights with all the usual bits under the bonnet and the xenon switch inside the car.

Options are to fit standard halogen's or fit the washers and level sensors.

I have no idea why this combination is on the car and neither does the previous owner.
No big issue at the moment as MOT is not due until middle of the year but just trying to plan ahead and see what's available and what way to go.

Great minds and all that... ;) :hahaha:
For the NEW MOT rules on Xenons you just need functional headlight washers, not necessarily the level sensors :thumbs:

Ok had a look on RealOEM at the prices so recon that the washer option might be the way to go with this.

So anyone who has the bits please let me know. I'm going to get the local stealers to price it up for me as well and go from there.
