What Lights do i have? So what bulbs should i go for

[Clio80]

Hello chaps been trying to find out whcih headlights i have by searching and it seems that i have the projectors is that correct?

After my recent trip to the Ring ive blown the drivers side headlight bulb probably due to me having them on for each lap and taking loads of kerb and going as quick as i can go through the Karrosel.

The previous owner had fitted the Piaa H7 55W Chrome Mirror Bulbs. So these are around 65 pounds so was thinking is it best to upgrade to a HID kit? If so which one seems to be the popular one that erveryone is going for?

Looks like a convensional H7 bulb for your headlights then as you dont have the projectors (Which fyi are H1).

Cheers, so what do projectors look like? Are mine just what people refer to as reflectors then? If i fit a HID Kit do i need to remove the tube part inside the headlight?

Some pics in there on the projectors for both 197 and 200s.

Dont fit HIDs to that style headlight. You'll do nothing but blind oncoming traffic and attract police attention

Cant view that link, may just replace the blown one with another pair of Piaas if its gonna cause problems!

There was a recent bulb test done by one of the 200 lads and the PIAA bulbs seem to be worth the £50
