            Aren't the new headlights LED rather than xenon?

                I would love to get those headlights too but I'm suspecting that it's not an easy conversion. As xenon headlights require a) automatic levelling and b) automatic headlight washers. Neither are present on earlier DS3s.

                  Since when do xenon headlights require headlight washers?
                  DS3's are like pizza..they're good even when they're bad..

                      I cannot see any headlight washers on any of the pictures of the revised 2014 DS3, so as other people have said, must be some sort of hybrid system.

                        I've seen Citroen post (Twitter I think) that the new light units can be added to older DS3's, surely they would've checked that it's a legal switch ??

                            Pretty sure that these lights are really LED headlights styled to look like Xenons.
