The Seat Altea was launched a few years after many competing models in the same class had been presented, but nevertheless sold beyond expectations. Featuring a sportier look than the competitors, it boasted a 5-star EuroNCAP rating and went on to win the coveted Town Car Of The Year award from Caravan Club/UK magazine What Car? It remained in production 2004-2009. The lighting technology used in these cars is however more than 15 years old today. 

Factory-fitted options included H7/H1 halogen and D1S/D1S or D1S/H1 bi-xenon headlights, both made by Valeo.

The halogen version features an H7 reflector that produces an average light beam even when new. In many cases, its light output has been further compromised as bulb heat and general ageing cause the reflective layer to peel off.  

The bi-xenon setup features a 3.0-inch projector, designed in the late 90s. These projectors are known to lose their reflective layer right to the point where they become black inside, causing dangerously low light output.

Needless to say, buying new or used original headlights for your Seat Altea 1319 is not recommended. But there is fortunately no need for that. Whether your car was factory-fitted with H7/H1 halogen, D1S/D1S or D1S/H1 bi-xenon headlights, there are upgrade kits that will fit inside your existing headlights.

These complete retrofit kits not only provide you with superior brightness and durability; they are also more affordable than average Seat Altea xenon headlights with bulbs and ballasts, and since all components are brand new, they come with a 2-year warranty. Additional benefits over OEM headlights include Canbus-proof designs and effortless halogen-to-xenon conversions. What’s more, the levelling systems will work without any adjustments to the headlight connectors, and you can use any ballasts that you might already own to save further on xenon upgrades.

No matter which retrofit upgrade kit you pick, you will improve the light output considerably, making for safer and more enjoyable driving. And, of course, your Seat Altea will look awesome with the luxurious bright light of the latest xenon technology.
