Headlight updates
Hey guys, what are the best options to upgrade the AWFUL stock headlights on an 02 XL2. I want to upgrade to the newer small double headlights that came on the 06 up busses.
I see the kits on eBay but is there a lower cost alternative that allows one to pick there own bulbs, possibly an HID setup?
I can handle getting the paintwork done on my end and also install as well unless there is something out of the ordinary that needs doing.
I am sure a few on here must have updated headlights already….I will probably do the driving/fog lights like Peter did with LED’s down the orad but really want to update the headlights now!
Thanks! -

G-man, You can buy the the ballasts and HD bulbs and install them behind the stock lenses(polish while off) fairly cheaply. I had Parliament do mine on our XL as I didn’t like the look of the round ones on the XLs, however if I had an XLII, I would probably go to the later style round. More money though.

I put new lenses in and it had xenon bulbs in it they where as bright as any light out there plus led driving lights never used headlights on bright just low beam and driving lights it would light it up like daylight , on my 1997 Royale

I bought my kit from Bus For Sale in Nashville, TN. Excalibur Coach in Sanford, FL. Is another source. I love mine but it took about three tries to get them aimed properly.

P C advertiser Xtreme Graphics has the headlight upgrade available. Completely made ready to install and available with painted frame to match plus exact Prevost plug- in.
Xtreme was very competitive with other vendors offering this upgrade.

Thanks guys, I will check out extreme graphics, was looking to find something a little less $ than the ones on eBay where I can sort out the actual lights myself.

That looks great Al. I wasn’t aware that there was an upgrade like that available for the H’s.

Looks great Al. You must be quite a site at night. What company offers the headlights?

Great job BA, looks like a new bus.
IBP is not one of our Advertisers. We have done our best, personal visit by Jon and I, numerous phone calls and an e-mail telliing us they wanted to be an Advertiser, but no action on their part. They are truely missing the boat by not being on the PC site. We put them on the site free for 3 months, that’s the best we can do.
We hope they’ll join up one day, maybe our members who deal with them can nudge them a little.
