T&C headlamps

Thats always possible, I even believe there is an original Chrysler set for the 2014 on the market.
But whatever you do, don't by a cheap crap Chinese xenon set for your car. The other drivers on the road will hate you for it if you do.

Although it is possible, it may be illegal, therefore, before going ahead and making any purchase, I'd first recommend reading this.

Check if your motor is maintaining the battery voltage at 13.8volt or 14.4volt. Some cars can be altered from one to the other using a lap-top plugged in the car's diagnostic socket to access the charge-controller in the control micro. With tungsten-filament lamps, there is a big brightness difference between the two. This is because the light creating efficiency of (nowadays) halogen filled quartz enveloped tungsten filaments shoots up remarkably with operating temperature and operating voltage, as does the whiteness (due to better blue end). This doesn't apply anything like the same with xenon discharge lamps operated by a high-frequency converter often mistakenly called the ballast, or white LED.,whose light is produced from fluorescent powder excited by an ultra-violet LED.
If your problem is poor headlight brightness, check with an accurate digital voltmeter the battery voltage while engine/alternator are running. If it is only 13.8volt, you can convert it easily with very minimal cost with my mod. involving an resistive alteration to the cold battery sensor under the battery carrier. If my memory serves me, it's a 33K0 half watt in series with the brown lead. Such resistors can be had from Maplins or Radiospares. Simply cutting the brown lead will only lift the charge voltage to 14volt, you'll hardly notice that.

Thanks for all the info everyone! I have every option in this car compared to the t&c limited, and more however, not the hyper white lights... I'm going to talk to my dealer service techs to see if the limited headlights are compatible with my model. It's really not that big of a deal if I can't change them out. Thanks again.
