Xenon Headlights
I have a question about the headlights that came on my 2000 that I bought a couple of weeks ago..When the car was listed it said it had Xenon headlights..The car came completly stock right down to its 108,000 stock spark plug wires but came with these headlights..
I'm sure they were installed professionally because they look great and work flawlessly..My question is how long do these lights last and can they be serviced (new bulbs) when they go out ? They look like they were recently installed because the lenses are very clear and chip free.Also who makes these ?..Here are a couple of pics and I appreciate any help at all..
Thanks..

If they are actually Xenon, their expected bulb life is 3 times as long as a standard halogen bulb. They're rather expensive to replace if you have to swap them. I believe they're ACA headlights. A few other companies make them without the HID low beam (If you have this, you'll note the yellowish color of the beam)

those are the ACA headlights. the feature projector low beams with 4300k D1S xenon bulbs. the high beams are 65w HIR bulbs in a reflector housing.
as for servicing them should they go out, all you need to do is buy another 4300k D1S bulb and pop it in there.
i have written a thread that shows exactly how to access the bulbs and replace them should you need to get in there.
