Lighting Modifications

[Matt_Clio172]

Right people. I have standard sidelights and headlight bulbs in there. Been looking at peoples pics and think I need to upgrade. Please can I have your recommendations and how much I should be looking at paying for them

 

[Matt_Clio172]

Bump please

 

[Tom]

Use the search.

If you have a 172 you have great headlights already.

As Tom said, also run with no sidelights, your xenons will look so much better on their own...

£9.95 for some blue sidelights

Still look like yellow candles in the wind next to the xenon's.

No side light bulbs looks better, or led side light bulbs.

I had PIAA blue sidelight bulbs in the dci, they were realy subtle & gave a crisp white xenon-like light

What LED sidelights are best?
Looking to get a set for the 172

Something like this maybe?

Not really looked into it.

 

[Matt_Clio172]

Would they fit?

Yeah, any 501 wedge type bulb would, as long as it's not bigger than the hole it needs to fit through in the headlamp.

Buy these: http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/501194t1....html?osCsid=123e20a5ae65946b2164a7b9a6997768


I have'm in my clio, combined with 6500k xenon, looks really nice and no color difference.

 

[Matt_Clio172]

I have gone for the Shiny Autos white LED sides

 

[Charlieboy]

I have a cup so no xenons, can someone let me know of a good upgrade?

 

[Thamar]

HID Kit + LED's

Or buy proper reno xenon clusters...

 

[Charlieboy]

Are HID kits illegal? Think I saw a thread saying that were

Nope, my mate has a HID kit on his GlanzaV, passed MOT fine

 

[f0xy]

depends on the design of the original lens if it passes or fails the mot...the majority of cars cause too much scatter where a halogen bulb is meant to be used, hence them failing
