Low beam is extremely bright



  Clio 182
Hi all,

I'm having an issue with the low beams on my Clio 182. They seem to be pointing too high and are dazzling oncoming drivers. I've confirmed that the bulbs are the correct H7 type. Is there any adjustment notches in the engine bay to lower the beams?

Assuming you have a Cup in that case. Make sure the bulbs are in the holders the correct way for starters before you start changing level height.

For any one with a cup or any other car who need new better Bulbs I can 100% reccomend these in a non projector lens.

Perfect white light great cut off and passed MOT no issues.

Best H7s I have ever had (and tried a few different sorts over the years) and no error codes.

I’m fairly convinced most people who fit these bulbs fit them incorrectly which throws the beam pattern off.

Got these in polo blue GT they will only go in one way on that, but these have a great cut off line like a proper bulb pattern not spread the light every where like other cheap led headlights.

Perfect even on MOT light test.

They only go on one way on all of them but people still manage to fcuk them up. Biggest giveaway is the retaining clips being difficult to put back on/take off.

The beam pattern is set by the way it reflects off the back of the headlight. If it’s inserted wrong the light reflects in the wrong directions.
