Electrics: Headlights

[mateoszmidt]

Hi Everyone,

I have a quick question. I owe a 2007 XC90 and have Xenon headlights not the angel eyes ones. If I want to upgrade to the newer angel eyes xenons will this be a simple plug and play to the existing wiring or will this not be as simple.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Mateo

You can’t I’m afraid as the systems for levelling and cornering are different or absent. The later angel eye ones as you refer to them are active bending.

It’s possible:
Cem needs to be reprogrammed and you need to install a ham under the carpet under the drivers seat and also you need to install the abl button op on the center console.
If the connector for the ham is not present under the carpet, you can splice it in the existing wiring from the cem.

Yes it's technically possible but not a realistic option for 99% of DIY mechanics...

Can you actually show where the headlight control module is situated? I went under my driver's seat and couldn't find it....

The green connector is UNDER the carpet and not just under the drivers seat (when it’s present in your car)
And maybe there is a difference between lhd and Rhd cars…
I know it’s under the drivers seat carpet in lhd cars.
