Headlight unit type

[Sargara]

Hi all, ive just registered to the forums to ask this so hope my first post meets with approval.

On my clio my headlights look like:

I noticed a pic by another forum member and theirs look like:

Could anyone tell me what the above headlight unit is called and as a bonus how much they cost? Ive had a poke around on ebay and theres various Angel Eye style headlight units but none look like the above. Cheers!

(Ive also trauled through about 15 pages of this forum and cant locate anything similar.)

Fitted to the ph1 172 as well, as the ph1 "sport" models.

They're called dual optics I think? Not sure on the price altho im sure some have sold on the parts forum for around 80-120 id reckon.

dual optic headlight, lights up the road alot more

 

[Sargara]

Thanks CH33MA and ojcheng.

Do they retail anywhere or must i rely on hoping someone decides to sell theirs?

 

[CH33MA]

just keep a eye out on ebay, or contact a breakers who'll probably have some that have come off a ph1 172.

 

[Sargara]

Will do.

With the new info i re-searched ebay and found a pair!
Ebay

However they are from Germany so no good. But at least i know what im looking for now. Id imagine getting them to fit on my none sports ph1 will be ..... interesting.

Just an update. Ive managed to find a website selling the headlight units rather than getting some 2nd hand.

Looking at about £130 for a pair new.

Not too difficult, but you need to check your fuse box has the correct wiring in place before hand or it may not pass an MOT.

right while were on the topic of head lights (sorry to take over) but on ph2's whats the difference between a sport head light n for example a Dynamique head light, and whats the price like.

p.s. i know the sports black on the inside n non sport grey

Ah thats useful to know, thanks Marky.
I dont suppose you have anymore detailed information on that do you, ie what is the correct wiring compared to what the clio will have as standard etc?

Changing to the dual optics obviously means you have to modify the electrical feed desinged for one bulb, into one for two bulbs.

You have to add a fuse to your fuse box (on the nearside dash when you open the passenger door), so that the dipped beam stays on when you use the highbeam.

I've been advised that it's this one you need (although as i don't have the wiring in my car i can't confirm this).

Check if there's any metal connectors in there or try slotting a fuse in.
