New headlamp washers Big pic inside.

[Dr. Wagner Jr]

It is possible to change the original headlamp washers balls on a Clio 172 2002 (mk2) for some "Cup" style ones?

The clio cup doesnt have headlight washers fitted.
Sorry

What would be cool is have the flush fitting ones that the new Audi & VW have. When they are activated they pop up out of the bumper, do there stuff and then fit flush again.

Nice!

Sure ya could buy some blanking plugs like the Cup car has, and colour code them to suit your car.

However blanking plugs dont wash the headlamps nearly half as well.

Blanking plates (I assume) to fill in the holes on the standard bumper!

 

[geoff_clio182]

Exactly what towser said - blanking plates!

 

[Captain Slarty]

I rest my case, yer Honour !!!

 

[paddymph]

I just changed the colour of that car to Bright Green, doesnt look that bad!!!

The reason the Clio Cup doesnt have headlight washers is that it doesnt have Xenon headlights.

By law all cars with factory fitted Xenons must have headlight washers!!! How stupid it that!!

 

[paddymph]

whys that then????

[juss]

them bits under the light pops out sprays the light then goes back in same on my bosss is200

 

[paddymph]

No they dont.

 

[GR7]

Our Beemers washers work like that! Wish mine looked the same, as I hate those stupid little horns that stick out.

 

[Liam]

they dont have washers on the cup. Why are they required for xenons? xenons can be added now on non 172s but for a hefty £500.
And is there any real benefit of headlamp washers? how can they clean lights without any movement from a wiper?>

 

[GR7]

Exactly Bradfordlad! The little horny looking things look stupid as well.

 

[teady172]

Theyre next to usless as well!

Gr,

Do you know if the Cup is in at sighthill yet?

 

[GR7]

Teady, they have a Cup at Sighthill and also at Renault Livingston, but they wont let you drive it as it is just for the showroom, or so they told me! It looks great though and it was possibly the one I saw a couple of Mondays ago, as that was when Sighthill got theirs. I daresay one of the sales guys took it for a spin prior to putting it on display.

Abercromby Renault will be getting a Cup demonstrator in a couple of weeks.

 

[teady172]

Wheres the Abercromby garage GR?

 

[GR7]

Abercromby Renault is in Seafield Road on the east side, quite close to Leith. The road is full of car dealers!

 

[teady172]

Ah, I know where u are!

Cheers!

 

[Rentaghost]

Aha my Edinburgh friends - Think I better go and have a look at the cup in sighthill.....

BTW I was thinking, given that headlamp washers are a legal requirement ( see above ) and that they are all popping out due to a known fault - should Reno not recall Mk 2 172s to fix this ??
Just a thought.

 

[Liam]

i find it hard to believe its a legal requirement for xenon lights. it doesnt make sense and im sure ive seen xenon lights on cars without washers.
