Roll on Xmas days when I officially get them

Best get you booked in on the 27th then :001_rolleyes:
I found out today that zennon lights must have a leveling system on to pass a mot but if you pop your old ones in for the test there should be no problem.
I will get James to give you a call tomorrow about the anti flicker issue.

Will do, anti flickers just sit between the headlight and power cable so its very easy to do. I'd just rather go down the ECU route if i can.

No problem.

Can you not fit the levelling system? Surely its a sensor on the wishbone?

I spoke with a tech today and they may be, may not be and it may or may not be the same loom.

His advice was to fit anti flickers and look at the rest at a later date.

So for now i'm gonna just do that.

 

[marshall]

Sounds a plan.

 

[Mentalpen]

Just for the purpose of making sure they weren't broke.

(yes, yes can needs a wash which it was given yesterday but tractors are harvesting so it gets one every other day)


So some crappy iphone pics

BEFORE






And AFTER







Car put back to oem and lights ready for santa to wrap up

Looks good, the darker lights really suit the front

 

[Tree200]

They do look 10 times better! Seems more purposeful.

Darken up those bottom lights and that will look sweeeeet

 

[Mentalpen]

Thanks for the comments

Yeah i've thought about that but there is so little to them i'm not sure how much difference it will make.

I'll PS a few different colours for you later tonight.

 

[Stevoox]

Looks great makes me want these!

It's literary just the edges that can be painted unlike the clio ones or old MK2 meg ones so i'm not convinced of the cost/benefit.

I'm more after the actual lighting benefits, living in the countryside with no street lights the OEM ones are not upto the task other than short periods which most will see.

sadly my work means i'm usually going to work at 3am or getting home at 3am.

We're these off eBay or from Renault? Interested to hear if you see much difference as the reflectors are shocking.....
