Conceived by legendary Italian car design firm Pininfarina, the Peugeot 406 was launched in 1995 and went on to win the coveted UK award Car Of The Year in 1997 as well as a number of other prizes. The HDI version set a record for longest distance driven on a single tank of fuel in 2002, and the first generation 406 subsequently remained in production until 2004. But the lighting technology used in this model is more than 20 years old today.
The halogen headlight 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.
Needless to say, buying new or used original headlights for your Peugeot 406 is not recommended. But there is fortunately no need for that. Whether your car was factory-fitted with H7 halogen 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 Peugeot 406 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 Peugeot 406 will look awesome with the luxurious bright light of the latest xenon technology.
