V6 Headlights on a non-sport Clio...

[Artorius]

Hello friends!

I have some doubts about this upgrade... it's possible to assemble the v6 grey mask headlights on a non-sport Clio campus?
The reason why i'm asking, is because I found some brand new headlights, but they only have with this PN's: 11804306 and 11804305. looking over the internet, this PN match for the v6... i'm right?

( I gave a little search on the forum, and didn't find any info about this exact doubt. if there is any, please let me know) =]
​
thanks!

V6 headlights are the same as the 1*2 xenons AFAIK. Which are easily swapped.

 

[lesley]

yeah i think theyre the same

 

[Artorius]

thanks for the comeback friends!

I'll see if I can make a better price with the seller.

about the xenon... it's impossible to use them in Brazil without having some big problems with the police, therefore, I would like to use halogen lights.. is it possible on a xenon headlight?

regards.

 

[Willliams]

1*2 lights are the same as v6 units, as you guys suspected

 

[Artorius]

and what about the halogen conversion on a xenon headlight?

 

[-Danman-]

Wouldn't it be easier to get the grey insert headlights?

They come on 182 cups and aren't xenon.

You want these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-II-PH2-2004-06-Campus-Pair-NEW-Headlamps-Headlights-Grey-Surround-/271020849050?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AClio|Plat_Gen%3AMK+II&hash=item3f1a19f79a




I think renparts ship abroad

AFAIK he wants projector lenses with normal halogen bulbs.

Ahh, the original post confused me

Ahh thanks! Reading fail on my behalf

I'm not sure you can buy Halogen D2S bulbs.

 

[jesus]

It'd have to be some sort of weird retrofit. Like when people fit HIDs to their pov-spec headlights, but the opposite.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

What are the lowest K xenon bulbs you can get?
4000k aren't too blue are they?

 

[jesus]

No, 6000k are too blue. 5000k is 'daylight', and 4300k is the one fitted as standard to 182/172s.

Anything less than 4300k will start looking more yellow.

Yeah, but companies make HID conversion kits for halogen fitments. I've never heard tell of people making halogen bulbs for HID fitments.

 

[Thrust-Rated]

4300k would be alright it's standard so police can't moan can they

 

[BoatNonce]

And if they do, 'Sorry officer, they came with the car.' and then show them a renault press photo of a 182.

 

[Artorius]

true... i'll keep two things inside the car... a pair of regular bulbs, and a photo of a 182 with projector lens! =]

well, thanks for all the help everybody! i'm still searching for a better price on the headlights.. we're now on 93 euro each plus 75 shipping. what do you guys think?

​

 

[Thrust-Rated]

That's cheap if they are the xenon headlamps from a 182!

 

[Artorius]

so, the bulb version is a D2S 35w 4300k?

can anybody confirm?

thank you all for the info!

 

[BoatNonce]

Yup. The 4300k is the colour by the way (slightly yellow)

 

[Artorius]

thanks!

 

[Artorius]

one last question guys!

the headlights arrived here in Brasil today, and unfortunately the seller didn't send the ballast or the starter. therefore, i'm thinking about using these adapters:

what you guys think?

but my real concern is about the "self leveling control" that shows in the headlight box... here in Brazil, there was never a clio built with electrical lever headlight. it's possible to use a manual regulator? are they pretty much the same?

thanks!

 

[BoatNonce]

Should be fine to use a manual adjuster

 

[Artorius]

fixed on the DEPO headlights, the VALEO adjusters... manual for while... perfect! =]

thanks for the info Mcgherkin!
