How much for 172 Xenon headlamps?

[Bucky776]

How much should i be paying for a set of used xenon headlamps off a 2002 clio 172?

Got mine for £160 but they were a bit of a bargain. Should be around the £200-£300 mark maybe more.
They're worth it for 160 but I don't think i'd have payed any more, still should stand for a profit when I sell them when I sell the car.

Do they look/ perform much better than the standard clio ones?
Do you ever hear of any peoblems with reliability of them?

Not really, do hear of the odd failure of either the bulb or ballast. Don't seem to be very common, the bulbs do have a service life though were they start to fade. Not sure exactly but its quite a while.

To be honest they look the absolute dogs b****cks both on and off, i'd personally say there a big improvement but mainly in looks only. For actually lighting things up a decent set of halogen bulbs will do the same job (some people say better) without the bright white look.
Still one of the best mods i've done imo.

Have changed to white led sidelights now too which look way better than the yellow normal bulbs.
