That's pretty sweet dude, good work! I love Xenons for the light, but hate that Renault insist on giving you those monsterously ugly headlight washer jets sticking out of the bumper that completely ruin the look. I was insistant on finding an R27 without Xenons, just for the aesthetics of the bumper (and so I didn't have the auto lights to go wrong with that common fault - ditto with climate, so I didn't have that tripping issue either hehe).

Auto light fault? Whats that then? Well i'm the oposite lol. I HAD to have the Black surrounds as i think the Silver clusters somewhat cheapen the front end of the car? The Black clusters help 'mean' up the front end imo.:) I like the washers lol and will be retro fitting them :eek: ;)

Hehe that's like my total opposite :) The auto light fault - I thought some people were having issues where when the headlights came on when it got dark the dash/instrument lights didn't and wouldn't come on some times? I don't have cornering lights, or Xenons and I'm not sure which ones I have -

Ah I've never noticed that there's different ones before to be honest! Those dark ones look good too - but I still don't like the washer jets though, it's the way they look close up in real life, but as you say, each to their own :) My ideal setup would be to have those black clusters now I've seen them heh, but without washer jets. So I guess, cornering lights, but no Xenons - basically what you've got now heh! No washer jets FTW mate ;)

Hi guys,

I'm looking at getting a set of white-er headlights for my 172 Cup to match the smart crisp white (not chav blue for the record) LED side-lights fitted to my car, had a look at HID's but little worried about the legalities as I have no washer jets or auto leveling headlights like FF 1*2s......and want to be a good boy and stay on the right side of the law.......

I've also looked at 'xenon' (halogen/xenon hybrids) bulbs with '80% brighter' branding.......possibly phillips extreme......but not sure.......??

......anyone got any suggestions.....apart from buying a FF :rasp: lol

IMO mate, they are no good without projector style headlights! they just end up a stupid bright mess!!

Yup Them Phillips ones will be fine. I had some Osram jobbies in my 172 Cup. Perfectly legal :)

Is it possible to paint the inside of the lights black like u can do woth other cars, or is it a wiser option to just go and buy the xenon headlights as a whole from renault?

Blast from the past this thread lol!!! Not sure on the painting side, but with the halogen cornering headlamps/ or xenon units the loom is different to them. They have different multiplugs for the cornering lights.......

Y didnt 197's come with xenons when the 1*2 did? Doesnt exactly seem like progression to me :s

They have the options of Xenons....... 172/182's didnt come with Brembo 4 pots as standard, so :rasp:;)
