I did it to an older xantia but there were no plug in wires so had to wire it up then fit the switch of a car that had all window buttons, bit of a pain getting the wires through the door loom but not that hard to upgrade

By spotlights - do you mean the froggies - sorry, foggies?

Main harness components are present in RHD cars - you need to add the lights, any bezels, the intermediate loom between both lights, the green (or now yellow) relay to its existing socket, and fit the correct blinker stalk from GSF.

It's quick and easy to fit the blinker stalk and relay, but to get the front bits in, requires bumper off and a bit of fiddling. Series I Xantias apparently require a dedicated bumper that's different to the non-foglight type. In my case (Series II) they'd even got the dash bulb fitted and ready!

And of course you'll want to give it all a good tub while you're in there dismantling and modifying. :wink: Allow ample time for this.
