Xenon conversion..

[Aust1n]

I have a 1.6 Dynamique.. and Im fed up of those sh*tty torche lights that came standard with it.. So this summer Im splashing out for a full xenon conversion at Renault..

Can people give me some ideas of the sorta price thisll be... I know It wont be cheap.. cheers.

£1500ish IIRC, best go for a retro fit kit mate or just get better bulbs, at the end of the day they are only lights. You could spend your money doing something worthwhile, some ICE or even a holiday IMO.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

not worth doing, you may as well trade in for a 182 with Xexons or a 2nd hand 172 that way you wont have to fork out much difference in cash.

Not worth the money.

Yup not worth payign the retail price for any conversion kit really.

Mines nice, dont think i can live without it now!

But i didnt pay full price

Doesnt work already tried

 

[Dink]

why not????

 

[Has]

the bulb fitment is totally wrogn if using the retro packs.

the auto-levler on the 172 unit doesnt work and if removed lights just face down!

few other wiring differences to do with sidelights and indicators.

Didnt realise it was just the RS models that had Xenons.

You can get Xenons as an option on all Clio Dynamiques (brand new) as well. Its classed as the "Style Pack" (as I have it on my 1.6 16v Clio).
