I Can See The Light... (Xenons Fitted :D)

[bmh.01]

Just fitted these this afternoon, not really the weather as I was bloody roasting :dead:. Still the results are worth it.

And all for the pricely sum of £200, great upgrade they look awesome. Just wainting for it to go dark so I can try them out! There the 182 ones but the grey surrounds don't stand out as much as I thought they would.

Was going to fit the headlight washers but i'm not too sure now as I don't think I fancy drilling the bumper after seeing what its like behind there.

Looks good mate, just have to wait for the long wet winter nights to really get the most out of them.

As for the headlamp washers i wouldn't bother, there more hassle then there worth.

Yep, the plug and socket is same one used by both the original halogen lights and the xenons. The only difference was I had to swap my height adjusters over as the 182 ones that came with the lights had a completely different socket to my loom and the original adjusters.

tho i have been known to enjoy the company of another man in my bed whilst dressed as an 80's cartoon character...

In that case the washers dont matter lol..

i'm sure some garages wont go over ur car with such a fine comb to notice u dont have washer jets, i wud swap mine over but its finding a decent pair and i like the black surrounds not ghey plus people will think/know for def its a 172 then

Theyre only required if the xenons are factory fit. If theyre aftermarket you don't need washers. Its only the auto adjusters thaat you have trouble with. Without them you tend to dazzle people when you go over a bump.

Where did you source the parts?

Thats was I thought as regards to washers. Oh well if it fails then I can either fit the washers which I might do eventually or refit the halogens get it mot'd and refit the xenons back. Afiak auto leveling and washers are for factory fit only, though technically these are so hmm.

Got them off here, dropped on and only payed £200 for the set.

Had a good test drive last night going through town and out on some country lanes, i'd say there easily as good as the original lights if not better. There much brighter when your out in unlit areas.
Only had one person flash me in about an hours drive so they can't be dazzling that many people.

i dont think there'd be much of a prob with the xenons on a clio, its on big b******s like range rovers and X5's that they dazzle you. 4x4 c***s :banghead:
