I've just got some, gonna fit them tomorrow if it's not f**king raining. Not got them off that guy or that make but they are all pretty much a sameness.
Only reason I've got them is because the OE lights on my Ph1 f**king suck. It would cast more light using candles.
Anyway don't forget that fitted HIDs to a car that didn't come with them as standard is illegal...

I doubt you'd have problems, but if you do happen to come across an anal tester you do run the risk as they may now that the model didn't come with them as standard, won't self level, have the right lens or possibly washers. But if you have projector lamps, which I'd guess you do, you should be fine especially as the 182FF came with Xenons as standard.
You could always just remove them though come MOT time...
To fit them you would basically plug them in and mount the ballast. Simples.

Fitted a set in my trophy, set up in it is fine - No one has flashed me as they have been set up correctly. My friend is an MOT tech and he looked at them and said they are fine!
They say your supposed to have headlight washers and auto leveling etc... but as long as they aren't shining up to blind other road users they will pass no problem!
Trophys didn't come with projector lenses

yup

That's my plan for tomorrow. Did you have to cut anything from the back of the headlight to fit yours, for the wires and shiz?
S2 106 GTI
Leave yourself 'PLENTY' of time!! I thought it was going to take a couple of mins to fit - turned into a few hrs!
I decided to remove my headlights totally as the Air Con pipes were in the way and it was going to be a tight fit :dapprove:
-Jacked car up
-Removed BOTH front wheels
-Removed both arch linings - Just pull the bungs out and there are 2 Torx screws underneath near the splitter
Once I had these out the way I could see the bolts which holder the bumper on - Also 2 underneath where the under tray is
The bumper is a two man job! you need to pull the bumper ends out to the side then pull towards the front of the car and it sould drop off! you need to pull hard though!!
**Also remember to undo your screws for the grill as this comes off in one piece with bumper!
how the bumper is held on
once this was off you can see the headlight bolts which hold them inplace - just undo the wiring to bulbs and pull them out!
With the headlight in your hand you can see how the bulb is held in place and what you need to do.
This is what I did to the holder (taken from HID4u website)
Connect the HID in the back of the headlight (make sure its a good fit!! or you will have trouble getting to it again! and will have to do the process again)
Put headlght back on car and connect all wires up making sure the Ballast is in a secure place and all wires are out of the way.
Same with other side...
**Try them out! just incase something has worked loose or not connect correctly
If all is well - re-attach bumper and away you go!
Thats how I did mine, may differ from different models of clio.

I've got a HID conversion kit from my old corsa C.
I've now got a 182 and im wondering if i could fit the HID kit into the Full beam to compliment the xenon dipped beams.
If this is possible, would be awesome for night/country lane etc driving !
Cheers

Unless your old Corsa's dipped beam fitment was H1, then no.
You can source the lamps seperately from hid4u. So say if you needed a H1 hid bulb, order it, and it will work with your old ballasts. So yes you can!
Also if you type in strathy in the discount code box, it'll save you a chunk off too
wow that code does save you abit!
Thanks!

Right, i've given this a go, but when you go into the HID bulbs, it comes up with a list of: D2S, D2R etc bulbs.
Bit confused, theres a H1 xenon bulb, is that what im looking for ?
Also i think my corsa bulb fitment was H7 so i dont think im gonna be able to use the existing bulbs...
Cheers for the help guys

It all depends on what HID kit you have though, some are more complicated to change than others. I'd need to do a bit of wiring to change the bulb on mine.

Again, it depends what kit you have. If you have an HIDS4U kit, they supply new bulbs in every fitment. E.G here : http://www.hids4u.co.uk/replacement-bulbs-for-pro-plus-kit-c-26-p-1-pr-129.html
