HID's (not PC)

[Gaz_]

Not for the pc brigade lol. Added some HID's to the car today. The light clusters i have are the same as the Xenon units, having space for the Renault ballasts under the clusters, and the projector beam. Fitted 600k lamps, which are not massively different to the standard Xenons fitted to the 182'2/197.

Few crap phone pics....

Before, crappy Yellow,

Nice place for the Ballast packs under the wheel arch liners (a fraction too big to fit in the standard Renault location )

Finished,

Big thanks to the Kev that is Steve from Birchdown :approve: . Going to fit some headlamp washers to it as i like the look It has the spare connector on the washer pump bottle for the extra pump, and markers on the underside bumper of where to put the washers. So thats anther job in a few weeks. Also getting my spare set of alloys Powder coated Black later this week

hard to fit?

i've ordered mine..

Piece of piss (well bumper off job on the 197) The kit i got from HIDS4U are spot on, not Chinky rubbish. Have everything you need, and well made. Plug and play PM for discount codes

 

[davesport172]

looks good mate! although its a lot of hassle to get a standard xenon look!!

 

[Gaz_]

Nah, only took an hour or so!!!

 

[Mark One]

I coulda sworn 197s had xenons as standard?

 

[Gaz_]

Nope. Three headlamp option, crappy standard Silver clusters, then mine (cornering lamps with Black surrounds) then the Xenon units (same as mine just have the Xenon gubbins and washer jets)

Nice

Are you sure you want to fit some headlight washers, you just know they will pop out /leak

 

[BioHzrd]

Looks good mate, where is it you stuck the ballasts ?? just so i know where i can hide mine.

LOL strangely enough i never had any problems on the 182

There is a space here. To the right is where the Wheel sits, and the left is were the bumper is fitted, on the drivers side its behind the washer bottle

 

[Fletcher]

^^^Lucky git, one of mine has started leaking again.

 

[BioHzrd]

Hmm never noticed that space on mine...will have to have a closer look at it next time i get the liners out, what did you do when it came to the brubber covers on the lights jut cut a slit in them ?

That anitspace is under the bumper iirc. With the HID kit i got, they come wired with a closed 25mm grommet that the cables pass through, so all it needed was a 25mm hole cutting through the standard lamp covers. Really impressed with the standard of workmanship on the kit. Absolute dream to fit tbh

 

[BioHzrd]

What did you drill a hole in the base of the Cluster ??

 

[Christopher]

Awesome!

You can't even tell you were a tight git now

One of the best, no doubt

No in the rubber cover that covers the back of the Bulb

 

[Gaz_]
