$% 64.36.01
For models fitted with Xenon headlamps the RH front
and RH rear height sensors are different to those
models with standard headlamps. The Xenon
sensors can be identified by a white stripe on the
back face of the sensor housing. These sensors can
be fitted to models without Xenon headlamps. But
the standard sensors cannot be fitted to Xenon
models.
