Cups with xenons please.

[Poopensharten]

I'm thinking about changing the Cup's headlights to Xenon units, can i see Cup's with the black inserts and the grey inserts please?

Also, is it plug and play? Pain in the arse to swap the headlamps over?

Cheers!

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

Not too much hassle. Bumper off, 3 bolts for each light.

As long as the lights have ballasts and igniters its plug and play.

Only one of mine I have with the xenons in

Swap the adjusters over and plug in.

Also manually adjust the headlamps so you're not blinding peeps.

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

Cheers Emma, that looks pretty good actually!

Aye Kev, wouldn't want any more dealings with the 5-0 as long as i can avoid it

Piece of piss to swap the headlights Danny. I fitted them to my trophy in about half an hour. Fitted Marc R ones not that long ago too. Hardest part is getting the bumper off and even that's a doddle.

 

[Gally]

Indeed. Easier bumper to whip off.

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

The light output is far better with standard lights but xenons finish the front end of so well.. Im not sure if I want to fit xexnons to mine yet

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

Nah, xenons aren't in the DNA, leave it be imo

Can't beat a fresh set of standards, makes loads if difference imo

This is on my mind aswell in all honesty, sometimes i do like the look of non xenon's on Cup's...

 

[Gally]

Cup's with xenon's please.

Just go for 6000k hids if you want to stay standard.

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

If looking like a wee ned is the desired effect?!

 

[Gally]

Cup's with xenon's please.

Yes, 6000k is exactly what neds buy.

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

Flol!

no need

No matter how much i love my 197 I cant stop looking at damn Cups. Stupid Clios.

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

Ignore the "It's not cup" people - honestly, they're no heavier at all than the non-xenon units, it's just cost saving from Renault
It looks 100x better and the light output is 10,000x better

It was one of the first things I did to my Cup and I've never looked back - night driving is awesome with them

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

I preferred my Xenons on my old 172, just didn't think they would fit on a cup.

 

[Gaz_]

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

Id disagree with the 10000% better output, was disappointed with them on my 182.

 

[Gally]

Cup's with xenon's please.

I liked them on my 1.2. Add in the fact decent bulbs can be expensive they were great.

 

[Djw Dave]

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

No Hongkong HID's for this beast?!

Wrong bulbs, nearly dead ballasts or hazed to hell then

I had brand new unhazed cup headlights and changed them for a second hand set of xenons - the xenons are at least double the brightness, they're awesome

Quick Clean:

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

Don't get hid's. Their gash and nasty.

Xenons too standard lights are much better, so either freshen your headlights up or make the move.

 

[.GAZ.]

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

Keep it standard mate.

 

[Cup_Phil]

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

People are weird

 

[Emma.]

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

I wouldn't say they are 10,000 times better. They definitely are a great deal better for night driving and look better. Mine were dirt cheap which is the only reason I bought them. I wouldn't pay £150 for a set.

 

[Gaz85]

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

They look a nicer unit Danny but they tend to be costly to change too. I just put 6k hids in both my cups

 

[Cup_Phil]

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

HID's in standard lights is an awful thing to do
They aren't projectors - they blind everyone as they don't have a beam cut off

As emma said - mine only cost £110 (shop around) and took me an hour to fit.

aye, cos hazed headlights were all the rage on a 18 month old 182

they're just not all that imo

Fecking hell you were lucky!!

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Deffo my next mod! Does anyone have problems getting a mot with them?

 

[adamlstr]

Re: Cup's with xenon's please.

Swap the adjusters over and plug in.

I didn't swap adjusters over, plugged my standard cup ones in the hole in the headlight and they work fine.

 

[jesus]

Put the standard ones back on for MOT.

 

[Cup_Phil]

No problem at all - gone through MOT's fine, no problems with beam pattern

 

[VeinAST]

I miss Xenons. They are on my "to do" list currently for the BMW.

 

[JonC219]

Went through MOT fine with mine as well

 

[Poopensharten]

What are people doing about the piss stained yellow side lights? I'd like bright white and to not look chavvy?

 

[Djw John]

Remove them

 

[Poopensharten]

I'd rather keep them in, i obey the law you see John
