Xenons run at lower wattage and, according to those who have done the mod, will activate your "bulb failure" warning lamp. I suppose someone with electrical knowledge could figure out a way to fool the diagnostic circuit?

You're on the right track with replacing the lamp housing because the xenon tubes require reflectors designed for their output pattern.

Good luck and keep us posted.
