Mk1 Clio smoked headlights.... ? ? ?

[modifiedmadness]

Do anyone manufacture smoked headlights for the Mk1 Clio? I'm not particularly keen on the angel eye units but just after a factory looking smoked alternative???

 

[tim124]

they dont give out much light as it is, imagine how bad they would be is they were smoked

 

[Rststevo]

lol, too true, sometimes i consider driving with full beam on all the time to make them as bright as normal dipped. personally i think the black angel eyes are pretty neat

 

[jonesyx]

^^ aye black angel eyes!

 

[bradus]

they do look good on some cars could get colour coded covers for the day 10 min job on and off look cool

Get some decent PIAA bulbs! (they rock )

Have you considered the morettes?

 

[tim124]

has anybody tried higher wattage bulbs ie. 80/100w ones?

does the wiring or lights melt?

[Ross M]

get some of your mommas tights over the lights

It shouldn't do.

Note the word "shouldn't"... lol

I was running 100W bulbs in my old Renault 11 with no problems.

Currently I'm running PIAA Extreme White bulbs in my valver - rated at 60/55 watts so legal, but actually put out something like 100w.

Which I can believe as they're superb!

matbrown commented on them when he was doing some work on it, so I think he could notice the difference while not knowing I had them in

[jay s]

what u want is a hid kit

 

[tim124]

how much?

 

[jay s]

£160 inc del from www.hid-lights.com ( us site )

 

[Paddy_g46]

which kit did u buy jay?

 

[Paddy_g46]

http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/ are these any good? the powerbulbs h4 white or blue 1's. they are cheap enough and you get 4 bulbs for price of 2?

 

[jay s]

x5 9000k hid conversion kit, seems to have come down in price alot now 198.99 US dollars = 105.16 British pounds sterling thats inc del exchange rate must be good at the minute. one thing tho if i were to buy another kit i would go for the x5 bi-xenon kit as this also gives you xenon high beams which i think mine needs as when i go to high beam at the min it goes back to std which is sh*te in comparison.

 

[Paddy_g46]

cant seem to find the 1 ur talkign about? how much is the bi-xenon kit?

These are the ones I've got - the H291Es.

Got mine off ebay for about £45!

That HID price is very good indeed though - I'd be seriously tempted...

 

[jay s]

the one ive got http://www.hid-lights.com/x5_9000k_GP.html
bi-xenon 8000k works out around £160 with del, very cheap imo....

 

[White16valver]

Possible a silly question....

but how do you swap to original bulbs for main beam? Are they just built into the HID bulb?

 

[jay s]

click on the link above and have a look at the lights, 1 of them has a little extra bulb on which is used for high beam, absolute s**t.

 

[White16valver]

er, nice... lol

 

[tim124]

i saw some bi-xenon light on ebay that wer one bulb and they had a sleeve that moved over the bulb when you flicked between high and low beam... is this just some cheap ones?
