My New Headlights

[Gavin.]

Just fitted these this evening, im quite impressed with the look

Let me know what you think, im sat here waiting for the chav insults

Gav

 

[Beef-Mc]

Chav!

 

[jesus]

are you going to put HID's in the projectors? would look ace i reckon

 

[Gavin.]

yea i wanna although i gotta buy a H1 kit now, i only bought the H7 kit last week lol. It says on the rear of the lamps "not for HID" you recon it will be safe to put them in?

 

[MT AUDIO]

probably for the heat as you may find itll melt

 

[Gavin.]

thats what i was thinking, i emailed the guy i bought them off to see if anyone else had done it and had any problems

 

[jesus]

people have done it before though and 1*2s have the projector lenses so it should be fine

 

[The Boosh!]

cant believe you have got 2.0 badges on a 1.2 tbh

 

[Hazza]

Well spotted.. take those off please.

Never lights angel eyes, leave it to BMWs...

 

[Gavin.]

i couldnt be arse painting the original 16v ones. Whatever mum

 

[AlexG]

i hate the lights and the 2.0 badges

innit gman safe

 

[Gavin.]

lol everyone to there own hey!!! And for the record im 28 yrs old and as far from a chav as you could possibly get, dunno why i bother with the forum sometimes, the slightest little thing some one doesnt like and that is your branded a chav.

Tbh mate, i dont think your a chav like you said each to their own! they will look good with the HID's installed. just need to colourcode the side strips and sort the badges out maybe lower abit! looks a tidy car though.

 

[SC03OTT]

meh, the lights are ok. dont mind them.

2.0l badges though...hmm, no.

 

[Luke.]

looks smart as fook!

i wish they did these when i bought mine!

i got hids behind mine and ive had no troubles

Funny thing is i doubt il get the badges off, i stuck then on with industrial strength window sealant even a stanley knife struggles to get through the stuff. lol we will see

like the lights, as i want some, but why to the above they just slide on??

 

[Gavin.]

When i bought them the seller never mentioned he had broke the clips on them, so they wouldnt stay on. Hense the sealant

I never realised this was a big no no, on the forum only really just getting involved in using it more. I think they will be coming off in the near future.

Anyone know the part no. for the original 16v ones?

And while were in the subject do i also need to take the renault sport off the back

 

[Savi]

i've fitted chav lights to my mk1, but only using the projectors for my HIDs. Not sure if my set say "not for HIDs" but they are working great, near impossible to allign properly, but havn't melted yet. Taking them apart soon to make them less googly though.

Oh, and i have no sidelights, so no crappy angel eyes lit up by 501 bulbs lol

be careful they dont mist up either

 

[Gavin.]

hmm funny you say mist up, they have started doing a little already. how do you stop that?

 

[Savi]

take them apart and seal them properly.

Or what i have done, taken the rubber caps off the back. Only mist's slightly through the crap weather we just had, works on every other day though

 

[Gavin.]

mine have a twist cap on each section not rubber caps, there only misting very very slightly and as soon as the lights are on it disappears

 

[cat171]

Not for me, sorry.

As for badging it up as a 2.0 at the age of 28 you really should know better

 

[Gavin.]

lol i was planning a full replica an then thought whats the point. may as well buy one when i can afford it

 

[miltage2]

cant believe you have got 2.0 badges on a 1.2 tbh

:nono:

 

[Gavin.]

This has become more of an arse raping for me about my 2.0l badges lol. Right its settled there going, along with the rs on the boot. lol

 

[Gavin.]

Ok just bought some standard 16v ones that have been sprayed silver on fleabay for 26 notes.

Anyones off here?

woop! well done matey, now your getting there!

 

[jack_davey]

looks good mate, ignore the chav comments!

 

[gsums]

I think everyone on here are just into their same old same old silvervisions and are affraid of anyone doing anything " different " to their car but i do think sport badges on a non sport is a non starter!

 

[VeinAST]

Certainly prefer the dark appearance of these chav headlights to the later "grey-insert" headlights!

Wouldn't have them myself though!

Replica with badges wouldve been fine but keepin on a standard 1.2 tut tut

 

[Gavin.]

ha ha feeling more accepted already now there going lol

 

[Reyes]

Xenons, 210each from Renault.

 

[Alan]

Should've bought xenons instead..

 

[Gavin.]

cant afford them lads, morgage to pay bills etc etc plus the savings for the tax man @ end of january. aah the joys of being self employed

 

[-Leigh-]

If the lights say "not for HID" I think there's a strong clue there.

I'm 25 and I can work that one out

lol cheers for that! I was wondering if was a legal warning or because the do damage to the lamps

 

[-Leigh-]

I'd imagine it's mainly for the beam pattern. I don't think HID lamps get that much hotter then Halogen lamps?!?

 

[-Leigh-]

Actually I think HIDs run cooler than halogen lamps?!?!
