Fitting 172 Headlights

[Jawnathan]

How do I go about fitting 172 xenons to a standard clio?

Anything major I need to take into account?

[Jawnathan]

Then you didnt give it a chance.. just cause it doesnt do things the "windows" way and is different doesnt mean its crap.

Anyway.. Dogmaul is correct it would cose ££££s and there are so many parts to replace its crazy.. sorry but your better off just not bothering.

Theres a set on e-bay at the moment mate but they are at £120 already and they are only £73 each from Renault lol

 

[JAY172]

you would need:-

1,both headlights inc starter packs and ballast computers

2,front and rear ride height sensors

3,main vehicle interior wiring loom

4,poss the slam panel wiring loom

5,washer bottle and pump

6,headlight washer jets and pipework

7,uch reconfigured by a renault dealer (new uch if it wont reconfigure)

ok heres a story, mine didnt have xenons and when I asked the dealer "so was it a hard job" He said "No it was quite easy really we had send alot of bits back to reno" and yet they insist the lights were not removed from the car!!

wanks

totally off topic sorry!!
