Sounds like they didn't include the bulb holders :/

Try your local scrappy

 

[Danix60]

They dont have idea what im talking about, how its looking?
Daniel.

 

[DanEdser]

Normally, they'd snip the bulb holders with the headlight units, just go show them rather than asking lol.

 

[Danix60]

I showed them the headlight, they didnt have anything,
i only can tell you that in israel they are very stupid about cars,
thats something i can buy from ebay?
​

 

[DanEdser]

Wait, the H7 bulb, is that the full beam?

 

[Danix60]

yes.

 

[DanEdser]

Yeah, this is the bit you need.

​

 

[Danix60]

didnt find on ebay, there is another way to hold the h7 without disturbing the other drivers ?

No mate, you also need them to wire it to the H4 connector.

(Assuming you're doing the dual optics conversion)

i did the wiring, all is working fine ! just cant hold the h7 bulb.
and another question, my clio dosent have the extra room fuse (15amp) for the dual optics, the model is RT of 99'
should i put the fuse on the cable itself ?
for every bulb i mean, if yes, each bulb (H7) will have 15amp or 7.5amp?
Thanks a lot for the help.

Can you get some pictures of how the bulb is wired up and working?

The extra fuse is so that when you turn the full beam on, the dipped beam stays on, whereas if you don't have the fuse, the dipped beam will switch off every time you turn the full beam on.

Other people have had the same problem, and I don't think anyone managed to make a way around it.

I was lucky enough to have the fuse terminal already in the fuse box.

side blinker

and wiring :

 

[Danix60]

little update, well when im flashing with full beam the dipped beam stays on.
only when i switch to full beam only the dipped its turning off, that ok for me because im not driving a lot with full beam, just needed to flash.
thanks.
and now i remain with the holder problem, any place on ebay i can get it ?
another question, living the wiring like that will make damage to the lightbulbs ?
​Thank a lot again !

The problem with the dipped bulbs turning off is caused by the fact that you've got no fuse in the box for them both to be on at the same time. It won't be damaging to leave them like that (not sure what you have in the way of annual inspections in Israel but I don't think that'd be a problem either)

With regards to the holder, I'm not exactly sure whether they came with my bulbs or whether they came with the headlights. Maybe contact the person you bought your headlights from and ask if they still have the holders?

 

[Danix60]

i will not have special problem in annual inspections..
there checking the light color + headlight adjustment.

the new headlights come without holders for the H7..so the guy i bought from him kept the old holders for himself.
​

 

[McGherkin]

Ask him if he still has them and if so can he give them to you?

I'll have to see if my local scrappy has a clio in with dual optics, but last time I was there they didn't have any.

 

[Danix60]

he is using the holders for the headlights.
he got a 172 clio he just wanted a new headlights because the old one got oxygen ed..(cleaned them ) )
​

 

[McGherkin]

You could contact Renparts, they'll probably have a pair.

 

[Danix60]

i will try next week (we have a holiday now),
​thanks for the help !

 

[Danix60]

all is working now
i didnt need a holder, i just hold it with wire and its holding very well !
+ got the Mtec cosmos Blue .
btw if im holding the full beam handle full beam and dipped beam they both goes on
do covered the problem on annual inspections
Thanks for helping !
