Xenon / HID Upgrade

[Harpham]

I have standard lights on my 1.2 clio. (Arent they called Halogen?!?).

I want to know what is my best option for upgrading my lights?

Any advice is much appreciated!!

Proper xenons from a 172/182. Save up and do it properly.

How much will they set me back?

Anything from 150-300 depending on from where and what condition they're in. Expensive, but worth saving the cash and waiting a bit longer for. I bought an HID kit for my standard lights, then ended up buying 182 xenons anyway, which I should have done from the start.

Quite a bit of monies then lol...

If I were to buy the 182 xenons then, would I just need the headlights, or do you need anything else to go with it? Or is it just a plug in and there you go?

You need the headlights, the ballast packs that plug into the bottom, the black starters that go on the back of the bulb and the xenon bulbs. I got a set fully working for £250. After that it's simply a case of unbolt and unplug your hold headlights, and plug the new ones in and bolt back into place, no wiring needed.
