Headlights

[Kent197]

Any reccomend decent bulbs for the headlights? Yellow standard ones are not strong at all and don't loog great.

Just fitted LED's to Interior and numberplate, so looks a bit oiut of place!

Just want plug and play ( buy them from Halfords and get them to fit ? ).

All ideas welcome, not looking to spend loads, no handy enough to take front bumpers off.

Osram night breakers are decent, loads of threads on this, a lot of people suggest them.

have you got reflector or projectors? also instead of bumper off, passenger side go thro the wheel arch liner (wheel off job) you can just about see what your doing and the drivers side i managed to feel around and change them once i done one side and knew what i had to do. mine are reflector tho.

 

[Kent197]

Not sure, how would I tell?

Just go for the osrams, made such a difference to night driving for me.

The projector ones have the magnifying glass type thing in them, the reflectors have a normal old fashioned bulb with a bit stuck on the end which reflects the light back into the cluster, which reflects it over a wider area of the road ahead. Reflector bulbs look like they have a bit of paint on the end of them which is lik foil on the inside and normally black on the outside.

Nope can't see any magnifying type thing, 2 of them have black tips, so assume reflector.

I have always gone to halfords and looked in their book, you could try the bosch website or other bulb manufacturer websites

I used autobulbsdirect.co.uk when ordering the Philips SilverVisions.

Just have to input your reg, confirm vehicle, then select which bulbs you're after.

Hopefully this link works - these are dipped beam bulbs for standard Clio lights - http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/h7-55w-headlight-bulbs/?bulb_search=car&end=front

The H7 OSRAM Night Breaker Unlimited +110% is probably what you're after at £18.45
