One label fits all job.

Maybe on the facelift, but my mk1 does not have xenons & there is no label fitted saying xenon headlamps.

Only labels are for the coolant, & refrigerant.

Neither is required for a retrofit. I retrofitted mine and they function with the manual level adjuster. They also pass MOT without a problem so yes, they are effectively plug and play.

I fitted the headlamp wash merely because I wanted to and it turned into a bit of a team project I also played with the auto levelling system but chose not to install it because I didn't want the expense of a new LSM.

Anyone got a pair lying around that they'd like to swap for some money?

Well in that case it's projectors OR xenons please!

So, has anyone got any xenons for sale?

Could be right.
Just had a look at mine and on MK2's it is fitted as standard and that is the only available label since 2002 according to EPC.

Having fitted mine, I was told the same by a local garage...

My pre-facelift 75 CDT has this label, but no xenons.

First time a headlight bulb went I read the handbook, suggesting dealerfit replacement for xenons, which the label said I had, took it to my independent mechanic, who had quite a chuckle at my expense. Good job he'd not got the xenon bits in on my say-so................

thanks
john:

Repeating and expanding on one reply, the label simply means that for Xenons only (IF you have them fitted), refer to the manuals so you don't electrocute yourself when changing bulbs!
