Headlight Change.. Insurance???

[TAOCLIO]

Hi,

I am thinking of changing my headlights on my clio. I will not be changing the surrounds or holders but will just be fitting new whiter bulbs.

They are white and 100% road legal however i do not know whether to tell the insurers or not??? surely its the same senario as if the bulbs had just blown and i had to buy new ones??

Help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

No way. You really think they are going to be looking at lightbulbs lol

You don't tell them when you change a tyre or a put a new Magic Tree in do you

No need at all!

Have to tell them if you use different make tyres to IIRC

What about changing CD's?

lol jokes.

cheers guys, wasnt sure seeing as if crash happened at night then thought they may have tried to blame the headlights and hence refuse to cover me..

any ideas on voiding the warranty? only got 3 months left of warranty, but dont wanna wait!!

Buy them and fit them. Stop worrying

already bought, was just about to fit and when i realised, a. do i need to tell insurers? and b. it is way to dark to see what am doing!

have to do it 2moz, need to prepare my hands for being savaged by the various clips and obstacles that the air con has to offer.

dont forget air freshener! youll be uninsured if you dont.

on a 1.2?!

if it stops you sleeping,
give them a call, but i wouldnt bother
theoretically it offers no performance increase and betters your visibility at night to both you and other road users,
if it were a fair system it should bring it down.
but i can imagine it would

we get some seriously stupid threads on here about what to declare on your insurance...
I find common sense never goes a miss!

yer yer alright, but you never know... when its dark headlights are quite an essential part of the car, and if you change then thought you may have to say.

fitted them last night in the end, look really nice. super white!

although not yet fitted the H1 full beam bulbs, not entirely sure how they come out? anyone got any ideas?
