You can�t get aftermarket conversions except for an extra highbeam lamp from
hella.
Hella says, because of the high voltage you need to lit the xenon gas, you
can�t just exchange the bulbs. Also you need an automatic light distance
regulator (don�t know the word, the thing that controls how far the lamps
shine). This is law in Germany...
