Expensive mate. Not worth the hassle.

 

[quickshift]

will these ever need replacing

 

[182_blue]

eventually

 

[182_blue]

why do you want xenons in your fogs ??

 

[Turkish]

xenons are sopposed to last 5/10 years ish if you look on the sites selling them they will normally tell you the lifespan in thousands of hours running time. tbh i dont think youll find a kit that fits into mk2 clio foglamps as they are an odd bulb hb4/7 IIRC either way i wouldnt bother as its rare you use foglamps and down low they are more likely to get damaged.

 

[quickshift]

thanks for the advise lads

any 172 owners had to get their xenon bulbs changed? its a renault job just wondered how much they charge for one bulb and how long it takes?

 

[dk]

i enquired about this and the bulb has a 1 year warranty, after that it is a renault fitting and the bulb itself is aroubd £150, not sure about the fitting cost though sorry.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

The bulbs are 150 quid each ! hope mine dont blow!

As to doing a conversion only worthwhile if you have a donor car, to expensive otherwise.

Oh and I can get the hella kits, if anyones interested let me know will need to know what type of bulb you have H1 etc.

Prices from around 300 up.

It is not a viable proposition. There are no such things as bulbs per se. (see pevious threads) .

Will cost roughly £800 - £1000 to do. They do give really good light and more cars are now fitted as standard, just do not waste your money on a car that does not have them as standard. All you will do is loose all if not more money.

Sorry Quickshift,

Didnt realise as a driver of a car with Xenons, you have no idea what they are.

 

[blaze]

PS and you can not have them as fog lights

 

[Dink]

i believe that the lamps in the fog lamps are H1, so youe could retro-fit a xenon lamp and pack to it quite easily.
this would cost around £350 but likely to be illegal

 

[Has]

Fog Light bulbs are H11 not H1, i foudn out after so much effort :S

plus u cant drive rnd with fogs on so not good!

 

[Mondial172]

^^^^ Unless you own a VTR or a 3 series.

the kits start at about 350 not 800 but if you are retrofitting xenons to a car then legally you should be fitting headlamp wash too hence the extra cost

 

[wongy008]

the bulbs are £180

and i beleive the lamp itself is over £200
