Hi, just want to check how this will work? I got a car that has Xenon headlights and I want to change back to normal standard headlights. What are the options? The vehicle listed above is a VRS model.

Hello,

Are these factory xenon headlights or aftermarket?
If it is factory, you cannot change to standard halogen.
If they are aftermarket, it will all depend on the setup that was installed. In most cases you should simply be able to remove the xenon light and the ballast, then install the halogen lights and plug in the factory harness.

Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.

Hi, thank you for your respond. I'm not sure which weather is factory or aftermarket. Xenon was damaged and it very expensive parts. Which is why I am looking for standard headlights. I've seen some research that they can be rewire plug or get adapter plug to replace it? Will this able work also where can I find it from? Also, just to clarify that normal standard it is same as halogen headlight. Appreciated from your help.

Since Skoda is not sold in the United States, we do not have access to the wiring schematics. So unfortunately, we are unable to provide the wiring details.

It is possible to rewire the headlights, what I was mentioning is that you can't just simply plug and play for factory Xenon to halogen conversion.

However, it will require new relays and fuses as the halogen and Xenon have different amp ratings.
