Hi folks,
I am sharing some tips for those who are interested to do their own hand made projectors or angel eyes.
When you turn your headlight to clear head light remember that the original glass is braking the light and reflects a large radious of light for your vision on the road. But if you put clear glass in front of your headlight there wont be any obsticle to break that light so they will be lit like spot light or like a flash light. There for a projector is a must if you want your headlights shows you the road at night.
If you wonder how new generation clear light works fine with out the spot effect, is because the interiour pannel of the headlights are specially engineered to break the light inside of the headlight by reflecting eachother so it doesnt require an icy glass on the front.
If you want to put an angel eye make sure it is around the projector not on the way.
If you wonder how to turn your head light in to clear glass, it requires a little bit knowledge and skills.
get a pannel of plexy glass 2-3 mm width. put in oven, warm it, (whatc it because it shouldnt melt it should only be like a jelly. than take it and put that warm wobbling plexy glass pannel over your original headlight so that it takes the same shape. leave it cooling on it.when it is cooled down with a marker trace the pannel according to the shape of the , with an electric saw go around the markers and cut it slowly. brake the old glass (dont cut your hand) paint the interior housing to black if you have projector(so there isn unnecessart shine inside of housing) then glue the new pannel with silicone. when it dries out watch for any little holes so humidity doesnt get through.
BEWARE, the mk1 clios doesnt have 2 separate housing for hi - low beam, so when you put a projector it should be a right choice for both type.
For HID XENON. Use E46 bi xenon projectors.
good luck

pick your angel eye wide enough or if you are going to use a small ring make sure it is right around the projector.
