Default Xenons ?

I'm just looking at a 1.8t on a 54 plate, totally on the net as to far to go and look at, before giving the seller a cheeky bid i need to check the specs a bit, from the pics, it has headlight washers and no headlight adjuster in the cabin, projectors on the front so I'm thinking 35W xenons ?? it's a contemporary with a PDQ interior. does this all tally ??

If it has no adjuster, and washers, then it'll definitely have xenons, as long as nobody has removed them at some point.

looks like black headlight interiors as well, don't really want to ask the seller as it might set off a light bulb moment (no pun )

Sounds very much like xenons especially with no adjuster on the LSM.

Front view

Looking at swapping over a few bits to the connie and moving the car on as a going concern ..

Projectors on a 75 had grey inserts so as said already xenons.

What's up with the car when your going to move it on?

Not a lot, I've got a bump on the back corner of the PBT connie that needs sorting so rather than bash it out and make it look ***** I thought i'd source a decent PBT rear end and xenons on the front would be a bonus. Obviously I could break it when I'm done for a profit, but that would be a bit yucky for me, i'd rather see a 75 on the road, the one I'm looking at has already been chavved up, bean tin back box, star spokes painted black so i'd be looking to end up with the connie back to her former glory (plus xenons) and a reasonable, looked at contemporary with the PDQ (why ??? ) interior for someone else to mooch around in ..

AIUI the ZT had black and the 75's were grey unless it was Xenons, I stand to be corrected but obviously on a 54 you stand the chance of looking at a parts bin special

Yes for projectors the zt was black and the 75 was grey inserts.

Xenons were all black.
