Xenon Headlights

[197-pocket-rocket]

I'm in a position to buy a set of original xenon headlights with ballast and bulbs but I'm not sure if they will work... I've got original reflector lights at the mo, I've tried searching but I'm on my phone at work.

Can anybody advise if these would/fit work please

Clio 197

Also I'm presuming any Clio mk3 headlights would fit, not just 197 headlights...

Not sure tbh mate as mine were fitted when I got it. Someone will be along to let you know.

Physical they will fit but without auto leveling of the suspension and headlight washers they'll be an automatic MoT fail. (the headlight washers thing is being introduced very soon for all cars fitted with xenons or HIDs, we already have it here in Northern Ireland). Wiring may also be different.

Projectors are what you want, same look as xenons but take normal bulbs (and are much better than the original light units).

Thanks Paddy that's a great help! Ill keep an eye out for projectors.

Much appreciated!

I'm also looking at a pair- thought the xenons just went straight on?

200 lights are different.

Get projectors with decent bulbs.

I meant projectors of a Clio mk3 diesel for example.
