Are you allowed to replace a halogen bulb in any headlight with a xenon lamp?
aYes, in emergency situations.
bNo, because it may lead to dazzling other drivers.
cYes, if the cap of the light fits in the lampholder in the headlight.
Why?
A headlamp must use the type of light source it was designed and approved for. A xenon lamp in a halogen headlamp can produce an incorrect beam pattern and dazzle other drivers. A matching base or an emergency does not make this replacement permissible, so A and C are incorrect.
