Clio 182 xenon lights

[Bevo]

Hi all, I have a clio 182.

I need a new xenon light unit and I just got one and noticed it has a different back colour. My original is a light grey bezel and this new one is a dark silver with black trim. Looking online there seems to be chrome, black and this silver colour.
My car is titanium silver. Does anyone know what kind of light unit I’m looking for

Titanium 182 ‘s came with grey Xenons. I have a driver side light in good condition for sale if needed. Looks like this

Ugh that’s so annoying I need passenger side. Thank you for the info

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124042309823 is this the right grey. So hard to tell. Unfortunately I need passenger side

I believe there are two xenon options a grey or black insert. Grey inserts being supplied on 182’s from new and black on 172’s (so slightly older) but I’m sure I will be corrected by one of the stalwarts. The one you linked looks about right!

Correct, the 182 came with grey xenons from factory.
Be aware that used ones will have brittle adjusters which will probably snap if they are entrusted to a delivery service. They are replaceable without pulling the headlamp apart though and the new adjuster is about a fiver on ebay.

What do you mean my adjusters. Thanks for the info

There's a handy guide to swapping them. But you'll need to be a paid member (worth every penny😉) to see it.

They can be tricky to see the difference in some forms of light. Only in bright light are the differences clearly obvious.

When I was trying to find a set for mine, even the sellers sometimes were unsure as to which ones they had.

It’s a subtle difference, but a big improvement for me. I personally dislike the pale silver ones on the 182 - almost like it’s the same grey as plastic body-trim that’s faded in the sun.

The grey ones look OK on most 182's but absolutely ruin the look of a black gold car.

I should be over the next few days. Going to get some pictures taken and an assessment of the condition of each headlamp unit.

I’ve got the pair of grey ones off mine and a spare driver’s side ‘black’ one.

What make is the black one? Its a bloody minefield when trying to work out who does what.

Sorry both - I'll get some pictures up later today. Just haven't had the chance this week. Going to number each on the rear to make it easier to ask questions about specific units.

Are they interchangeable? Can I put 172 Xenons in 182?

 

[RustyMojo]

Yep, I’m running 172 black units in my 182 now. Only difference that I noticed is the colour of the insert
