    New Clio RS 197 Owner from South Africa

    Headlight help

    I recently bought the projector headlights from an accident damaged clio, plan to install them on my clio as I currently have halogen lights. Is there something special needed, or is it a direct swap?

    So without further adieu, here we go! I picked up this 2007 Renault Clio RS 197 on Thursday the 10th of September 2020. Literally 12 hours after taking delivery, I had a short 1500km road trip planned to get back home. I immediately drove the car to a workshop in the Western Cape called J2...

    Quick update on my own thread, I have done some reading and seen people having luck with replacing lambda's on the similar code I got.

    Thanx bud. So far it has not been a very good experience tbh :censored: But I'm hoping to get it sorted. Will post a detailed writeup in the correct section of the forum to get more answers. To get back to the point, I believe parts will be extremely hard to come by as these were never really...
