Pretty sure they can be replace with halogens as long as the electrical box is upgraded or downgraded by the load on the box, and you want both of them to be replaced so it will most likely work!

Hi, yes you can swap the xenon headlamps for the regular ones, the only problem is fact that the xenon headlamps have one module for the adaptive headlamps, the regular ones does not have this option and for that reason you will have the message on the dash for headlamp malfunction as well as the led on the light switch flashing.
