bulb fitments in clio mk3

[JoshE]

Hi, does anyone know the different types of bulb fitments in the new mk3 clio's. (i.e. full beam, dipped beam, side lights, fogs etc). As looking at upgrading the bulbs to brighter whiter ones.

Cheers,

Josh

Low Beam are H1 but you have to get ones with UV Block as the lenses are plastic.

High Beam is H7 again with Plastic lenses.

Sidelights are 501's or W5W's - any are ok for these

Front Fogs are H7

Trust me they are a right pain in the neck to change and on the passengers side you will need to take out the battery and battery box to get to some of them. Also be really careful with the bulb rertaining clips as if these come off while you are fiddling arund blindly they take hours to get back on - I speak from experience.....

It does say in the handbook that Renault recommend dealers change the bulbs - I can see why.

If I had known how hard they were I would have not bothered.

Have fun
