Awarded European Car of the Year in 2001, the Alfa Romeo 147 is renowned for its stylish Italian lines and dynamic driving qualities. It remained in production until 2010, during which time the model was partially redesigned. The lighting technology used in these cars is however nearly 15 years old today.
Factory-fitted options included H7 / H1 halogen and D2R / H1 single-xenon headlight, both produced by Valeo. The halogen version uses a reflector to produce an average light beam. These reflectors are known to lose their reflective layer, where they become black inside, causing dangerously low light output.
Needless to say, buying new or used original headlights for your Alfa Romeo 147 Facelift is not recommended. But there is fortunately no need for that. Whether your car was factory-fitted with H7 / H1 halogen or D2R / H1 single-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 Alfa Romeo 147 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 Alfa Romeo 147 will look awesome with the luxurious bright light of the latest xenon technology.
