    I apologize if this is in the wrong spot, kinda new here. I have a 2004 cooper s with the xenon lights but i wanted to upgrade from the reflector housings to the 2005-2006 projector housings and wanted to know if it would just be a plug and play operation or if i'm gonna have to do something crazy. :confused:

    100% plug and play from the old xenons to the "refresh" xenons!!
    You will love them...when aimed right they are great!!

    Just choose carefully....
    Some fail by having the auto leveling go bad, then they aim down...
    They can kinda be aimed up, almost were they should, but not quite with the manuel adjustments...
    So just be aware of this when shopping....
    IMO the only folks removing them when they work right will be from wrecks....
    When PAIRED with a decent bulb (they do dim a bit with use) the factory xenons a great projectors.

    I was worried about the auto leveling thing. I'm assuming a set of aftermarket projectors would be a bad idea then? I haven't started shopping yet. I'll have to ask around my local mini club :D
