it'd be a great guide if it was in English!!
Better light cast by the xenon's, but not further up the road though...

 

[Liam]

they do go alot further, ive parked up next to a halogen lit clio, even beam and much further down.
Prob why ppl flash me thinking i have full beam on.

Aint there a program that can translate web pages?

 

[White16valver]

babelfish does translation, or google can I think.

Just be careful at work as mine blocks babelfish, presumably because it has the word 'babe' in it LoL

 

[Liam]

googles translation

they always seem to use the initiale model instead of renaultsport models to compare. I know initiale comes with xenons but you'd have thought the RS car would be more popular on one of their forums.Saying that, whenever Ive been to france I cant remember seeing any RS clios. They say UK is buys more than anywhere.

Seems looking on there their law requires washers and auto height adjust too.

god i hate those xeon bulbs, they dazzle you as you drive towards them i always put my main beams on if i see them xeon bulbs coming towards me, i think thy are dangerous

 

[Alan]

Do the xenons on the Clio actually self level?

2nd that, surely putting your full beams on is more likley to cause an accident?

Think about it...

The xenons on my bros megane self level, when you firs turn them on they start highest, then drop down 4 levels, and go back up 3 levels, when theres people in the back it goes down

 

[V1NNY]

i get flashed too, most of the time the driver who flashes me has there fogs on so that does my head in

lets not start fighting on this thread fellas.


maybe youve flashed me when youve seen my 182 coming other way

lol

they do self level actually, when i get out of car at work to open gates, i can hear them adjust.

 

[martynh]

Do the xenons on the Clio actually self level?

I think it's a legal requirement or something.

 

[Serg]

yup mine self level hence it cost loads to get a replacement

 

[Rip3z]

Xenons can be very annoying/dangerous for other road users, same as these guys with uprated bulbs + fogs always on.

next stage in lighting is leds apparantly

 

[V1NNY]

yeah it is but i think they are a couple years away, although i think an audi has already been equiped with it, dont think they are bright enough at the minute

you'd be surprised

i've put a .7w led in my aa maglite and it is bright as f**k

the new golf has been seen with LED headlights, but it's atleast 2 years away yet from what I read.
