led headlamps or xenon as we call them are about £1200.00 for the average car. they take their power from something called a ballast resistor. the headlamp doesn't come with the ballast, its extra. also what you need to consider is that the wiring plug on the car, may not fit the new headlamp. you may get round the wiring plug issue, but then theirs a chance that once you got the headlamps in, (provided they fit your car) nothing works. leave well alone.

We have two cars that have LED all round front and back - I bought my first LED headlight car, a brand new car in  2010 

Are you also getting mixed up between LED and xenon? The only cars with LED headlights in 2010 were the Lexus and Audi R8.

Just what modern car allows you to change any bulb to LED without having a yellow light on the dashboard (wattage discrepancy)?

I changed the number plate bulbs to LED on my daughter's car and even with an OBDeleven it took me ages to figure out the correct settings to put the warning light off.

My car is a 2013 Zafira, the key thing is it's older, no warning light when a bulb is out.

I drive a 54 plate ( 2004 ) Astra and when you turn on the ignition it says " service 2 " if a bulb is out ,you still have to walk round the car to find out which one is blown.

My brake discs are not OE, but I think they will be ok.
Same with my winter tyres, the question would be is what is classed as a modification, roof bars maybe?

With some companies yes it maybe deemed a modification, I had one company ask if the car had any factory fitted options.

5 Year old used car and they are asking me if it had any factory options?  Immediate thoughts were they are the type of company
to void any claim.
