I don't think headlight is sold in firm of individual parts, IMO it is a Single piece so you'll have to change the whole unit which is better as lighting would be much better than what your are noticing now dig to new reflector, bulb and outer shield. | |

Besides the kit, there are plenty of Osram Xenarc fake products available. The genuine ones now have a verification code printed on the product box, that goes into their online verficiation tool. Please order the bulbs from powerbulbs.com or another reliable source. | |

| ![]() Hi guys, Need advice - I have Feb 2010 Laura TSi. I want to upgrade to bi-xenons if that's possible. The car came with projectors for low beam and reflectors for high beam. Is it possible to install bi-xenons in the low-beam projector housing and will it be effective? Is there any official upgrade available from Skoda/dealers? Thanks! |

Here are some options I can think of: 1. If the existing projector is halogen, replace the halogen bulb with a HID bulb/ballast and you will get a HID low beam. But the high beam will have to be still halogen. This is the easiest upgrade. 2. If possible, remove the existing projector and retrofit a BiXenon projector. This will depend on how the projector is integrated into the headlight housing. If everything is moulded, it may not be possible. 3. Get a headlight housing of a lower trim Laura which should have halogen reflectors and retrofit a BiXenon projector. This is what I did for my Polo GT TSi. As it was very difficult to open the OE dual barrel headlight assembly in my GT Tsi, I bought the headlight of the previous generation GT and did a projector retrofit. 4. The last option would be to get OE headlight assembly with BiXenon projectors. If there is a higher variant Laura with BiXenon headlights, then it should be possible to fix these. But this would be the most expensive of all the options. | |

For the time being, tried the traditional method of cleaning the headlight glass with toothpaste and the results are outstanding. ![]() | ||
