Like I said in my first post . I've been using mine for over 12 months now with absolutely no issues , failures ..... and compared some of the led GU10's that I've seen , these win hands down . You don't have to pay top dollar to get top quality . I guess some people just can't accept that :rasp:
Nice one . They really are the best I've seen , for brightness and for coverage . Like i said . A fair of my mates have different makes of GU10 leds and none come close to these . The warm white are very bright and white . There's really no need to spend silly amounts of money to get good...
Mines been doing this for a few months now , especially when it's damp / raining . I checked the connectors on both rear lights today , no sign of corrosion , they actually looked like new . So i just sprayed both connectors with WD40 and the problems gone away now ( fingers crossed ) .
Slacken the exhaust mount bracket off , and move it forward , towards to front of the car . It sounds like it's too far back if it keeps working it's way out of the rubber hanger .
Another vote here for 5000k from http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/d2s-35w-hid-xenon-bulb-set/ Better , brighter light than the oem 4700k imo .
If it's a FF 172 it'll have Xenons fitted as standard , if it's a cup it won't , unless someone fitted after market ones . You'll know the difference by...
Mine used to Pop and Bang alot , until warm , then it would go away . I had a leak at the olive joint from the Cat to centre section . It's a common problem for them to leak from there . Maybe check that out . It might need a new clamp ? As said above by others , they do run rough when cold ...
I've got 8 of these in my Kitchen , in 2 banks of 4 spotlights . GU10 24 SMD 3w , 340 lumens , warm white , 120* angle opposed to your standard GU10's which are usually about 38* angle , so no dark areas as they all overlap . I've been using them for over 12 months now with no issues or failures...
Let me know what you think when you put them in . They're not as bright as the SMD ones that MarcR posted , but i didn't want them that bright . For £2.49 for 4 , I'm Happy :D
Have fun installing the offside bulb , it's a bugger if you have big hands lol . I ended up cutting and extending the...
That's where the water came in when i had my 172 anyway . I sealed it and that sorted the problem . It could be anywhere really . It'll be a process of elimination finding out where your leak is .
Just got home from work now and took a couple of pics . Like i said , they're not too bright , but bright enough to give out a little bit of light . The pics are just sidelights only , not with the Xenons on .
I don't have any pics , sorry . But they are bright enough if a car is parked in front of you , you can see them shining . Granted , they'll not be a bright as cree bulbs like Dr Jekyll mentioned , but i didn't want them too bright . And for £2.49 delivered they don't cost the earth if you don't...
Is there any water in the boot , under the carpet ? It could be coming from so many different places and swishing about as you drive , not necessarily directly where the water is lodging . Try the black grommets where you open the hatch . Take them out , bob some sealant on and replace.
I've been running these for well over 12 months now , they match the Xenons perfectly . They're white , no hint of blue . Only £2.49 for 4 delivered :D

So have you been to renault today and bought a new kit ? It was nearly £30 ?
This is the kit you want . The cups that the bolts sit in from NWP are too thin and the bolts can pull through once the cups start to rust . The genuine cups are alot thicker / stronger . You should have messaged...
I use a local motor factors place that mixes their own paint . It was about 8 quid for a 400ml areosol . Spray a bit in the lid and use a c0cktail stick to touch up and stone chips . It all depends on the place / person who mixes the paint how good a match it will be . Mine was spot on .
I think you probably already know the answer . You either wait til October and take out insurance with a company that will cover your mods or you cancel your existing insurance and go elsewhere . You options are very limited to be honest . And i'd also be surprised if you got back £500 from your...
I've never had a problem with the Renault oem rear wiper blades , £6.99 delivered . Like guysy said , that doesn't look like the right one what you've ordered ...
Whatever exhaust you go for , get 2 new exhaust hangers cos the chances are the ones you have on will be shagged . It'll make it easier when you come to fit it and getting it to line up properly in the bumper ;)
£16.00 delivered is a cracking price . I thought maybe they would be cheap crappy things , but they work perfectly well :D. They are maybe slightly brighter than oem , i'm gauging that against my 8 year old Xenons that had gone slightly pink though and that would intermittently go out . And like...
If you do need new bulbs , i bought these from HIDS direct after reading good reviews about them on CS . £16.00 delivered . I went for the 5000K , slightly whiter than the standard 4300K .

I've told you what to do , from my own experience , others have done the same if you care to search . The engine management light doesn't always come on , sometime it does sometimes it doesn't . Even if it does , it doesn't affect how the car runs , you just have a light on , that's all . You...
£18.98 wasted . Like i said previously . If the engine management light comes on it makes absolutely no difference to how the car runs . Better off spending the money on an OBDII scanner or get Torque on your phone and a Bluetooth scanner interface tool , imo ;)
There's no need to tie it up , just screw the lambda sensor into your decat pipe . If the engine management light comes on it doesn't affect the cars running anyway . You can either ignore it or reset it using a cheap OBDII scanner . Mine came on after a few days of running with the decat , i...
VM's prices have crept up over the past few years , but i'm not complaining . It's always been a faultless service for me . I don't think the rise to 152mb is gonna be that noticeable tbh , but if they insist , who am i to moan lol .
