New rear lights

[Ollie RS]

Hi guys,

Does any one know what these lights are? are they just the facelift lights?

Here are my standard ones for a comparison:



Not sure if i like them more or not but i think they make the car look wider...

cheers

Ollie

i think i answered my own question, they are the facelift lights

now question is do i get them or not?

yeh face lift lights on the standard clio, but they dont have fog lights in them as on the standard clio the fogs are in the bottom of the bumper

 

[henderson]

like them! does this make them illegal with no fogs in then? wonder how much karl would charge for these? very nice...

 

[Roy]

Sure you would have to have fogs

 

[GrumpyTwig]

It wouldnt pass an mot afaik

mot requirement - 1 fog light needed...

Perso' I'm not a fan of these, but I suppose you could always put your old set on for MOT time.

Not like I'd advise that or anything like that.

thought as much si cheers,so as said you could change them back,or at least one of them,surely there's no laws on odd lights? would these be a straight swap or would the plugs need changing?

Totally off subject here but that clio looks awesome!

 

[Mentalpen]

only way round it would be to wire the spoiler brake light as the fog light?

dont think the light output would be enough....

example - rear side lights are 5w and fogs 21w and stops 21w

not sure what the third brake light is bulb wise

 

[Mentalpen]

Good point but I was guessing =too 21? as its a brake light.

I'm guessing at it having to be the same?

 

[henderson]

are these a straight replacement for the originals then anyone???? not to bothered about the fog light problem.

 

[Ollie RS]

i presume so mate, i want to get a set for mine, i'm not bothered about the rear fog light

i'll ask karl for a price then mate,could you post that pic of the new lights in the thread so he knows what i'm on about...

 

[Ollie RS]

i already sent him a pm with the photo and all the details a few days ago but i think he's on holiday

 

[henderson]

ollie i just ordered the lights through karl this afternoon matey,top guy by the way,lights where £143 delivered for the pair,excellent price i think as the ones on ebay where £55 plus £13 delivery each and they had a scratch on one,

think i might have a go at wiring one of the reversing lights up to be a fog light using a red bulb,i'll see whats possible when i get them hopefully on thursday

 

[Robo_#1]

If they have two reverse lights then wiring one of those as the fog is the way to go. They look awesome but in England there's no way I'd drive without a fog light.

 

[henderson]

fair point matey but i've owned my car for a year and a half now and i can honestly say i've never used my rear fog light once,similar story with every other car i've owned
