clio 200 dipped beam

[rftaylor]

any of you kind folks have experience changing dipped beam bulbs in a 200, my friend has been qouted £45 to change one bulb in his gordini, said he cant change it himself and reckons the front bumper has to come off, i would like to do it if its possible but think its a bit of a faff having to take off the bumper, i can manage my 182 bulbs fine.

thanks.

check in the guides section. im pretty sure that you can remove the airbox or something and that gives you access

Although I've not had the pleasure yet, I have heard the horror stories of the front bumper assembly having to come off to replace the off side bulb, apparently you can just about manage the nearside if you take the battery holder etc off, so i,m told, again i haven,t had the pleasure yet

ok cheers guys i'll just lay low and plead ignorance "the guys on cs said its easy to do"

The bulbs can be changed through the arch liner but it hurts your arm plus I'm mega skinny! Bumper off takes about 15 mins and then you have more access but might be easier to just pop the light unit out a little. I have to do mine next week as one of my ballasts has popped. Where abouts are you based?

Gorms,
you say you have to change yours, seeing you got a Silverstone, you may want to read this, last posting may be of interest

Sorry the links not working for some reason, but basiclly the last post on the link said that Renault were doing 100% contributions on replacement bulbs and fitting on cars up to 4 years old

 

[Gorms]

Hah I wish, I upgraded the lights to projectors and added HIDs, I took them of my last 200 so at a guess they are about 3 years old!

 

[Oldtimer49er]

Well it that case, it was worth a try

N/s is easy as you take the air flap out. o/s is hard and can be done with nothing taken out but takes lots of time and practice

I did mine on my 200 and I'm retarded.

No need to take the bumper off either.

Search for warren4, force India, or brown bear. He did a guide on here.

This to be fair.

Well for me it is as I need to pop the head lights out to change the ballast.

Maybe Ok if you have the hands of a size 0 supermodel, not the bucket hands of the average male LOL
