Re: 2007 zeon upgrade

I would think it is possible, depending how much time/money you can throw at it! I've thought about it, but from what I understand, the system gets complicated because:
- To be road legal I think you need to have self-levelling headlamps and washers on xenon headlights, the 463 Gs almost all had the latter but not the former
- They solved the problem of self-levelling with a sensor on the rear axle/chassis rail that measures travel and hence level/attitude of the car and adjusts lights accordingly (from what I remember seeing on the US forum I think)
- Fog lights :If you are upgrading one you might as well upgrade the other, the new ones have clear-lenses and the turn-in/see around corners function, which I am sure will be very interesting to retro-fit to an older G!

You could just fit H4 Zeon aftermarket bulbs. About £200 and you need to fit the ballast and starter boxes somewhere. Strictly questionable as you need the self levelling to pass new car regs but not a MOT failure so lots of folk making money selling them. But why bother.. just get a good new Hella H4 reflector and fit a decent bulb .. you are high up and should be fine with this otherwise you may blind oncoming traffic .. or if you want the colour then get blue bulbs..
