It is possible to get this on the corsa c.

I should be getting the 2004 front lights soon and think they would look good in xenon.

so is this possible or will it cost £££'s to convert???

hold on. you lot gettin confused. a hid bulb alone costs about 150 notes. later c have bi-zenon. all it is is a purple reflector in a ballast housing. hid id gas discharge, and to get this you need 12v-25000v transformer new wiring looms and bulbs. i only ever done one on a vectra b and parts alone were over £1k.

yesh. not gas discharge. normal h7 bulb like in yours but there is a ballast reflector(round ball with purple on it) that gives it a more defined beam pattern.

the loom from the passenger headlight wont reach the new plug. u need to re route it by cutting a rose tie and re-directing the loom. you'll see what i mean
