Hi all, On the lookout for some black insert headlights (halogen not xenon) for my OG 250, the chrome just looks awful... If anyone is selling or know anyone who is, please put me in touch as I am desperate to get them swapped over! Cheers guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Totally agree, the chrome just let the front end down in my opinion. If you're confident with your DIY skills. Heat them up spilt them and spray the inserts black. That's what I did and cost me £10 for the spray paint.
Just buy them brand new. £140 for black megane headlights. If you split them and reseal it is difficult to get a 100% Seal resulting in annoying condensation
Sorry I completely forgot I posted this and had no notifications... Can report that the replacement black headlights from eBay for £140 are awesome and have made me fall back in love with the front of this car [emoji16][emoji1362]totally recommend if anyone is thinking about it!!

Does look alot meaner that Like she's angry sort of If you look at the pic with and without she's happy smiling on the left side on the right she looks like my wife angry and pissed off
They look so much better in black! Is there a xenon variant of them or would that be too much hassle? Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
It's true what they say.... 'Once you go black'... [emoji15][emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
They do look awesome, I'm on the hunt for part numbers of black xenon lenses if anyone knows them, been on the phone to rsc europe and they cant be sure of the correct ones [emoji848]
Yeah mate, so there must be 4 different lamps total. Chrome/black halogen, chrome/black xenon. I've currently got chrome xenons, trying to get some black ones at a reasonable price, rsc europe have just the one side atm [emoji848]
Bit of a thread revival, but can you give me some pointers on what paint you used and what sealant you used too when you put them back together (if any)? Looking to do this with my Xenons. Cheers!
I bought the depo ones from eBay and failed the mot Left hand drive variants be careful just in case I split mine and did myself mastic and some spray paint. Easy except for the cuts to my hands lots of sharp bits Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks! Did you prep the plastic and use primer/laquer too, or did you just spray with some black spray paint and stick back together again? I was going to buy some Depo lights but they seem to be £200 now so I'll just try and paint mine first.
Don't go with the depo lights it's definitely an mot failure whatever they say they are left hand drive only. They are nice though! I used normal spray gloss paint took the inserts out and hung them off the washing line just did a light coating and built it up a little at a time to stop drips took an hour fir both it does dry quick. Just wiped it all down with some white spirit to clean any grease and it was that simple. The hardest part which cut my hands was getting out the old mastic. Try hearing it I used a heat gun. But still hard work. Then just filled the surround half full with mastic and put it back together less than an afternoons work. It is very straight forward and I am bloody crap at anything DIY.

Those of you that put them in the oven, can I assume that you stuck it on warm. Ie the lowest setting? I have a gas oven, if it helps.
Mine failed they were kicking up to the right and at that point I realised that other drivers were constantly flashing which I thought was because if the PIAA 4K bulbs but as because the light was shining incorrectly. Perhaps you were lucky if any body wants some they are welcome to mine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I did mine with the mrs hair dryer as you will need a big oven to fit them in! Either that or a heat gun Very straight forward, I just used a scotch pad to key the surface, I sprayed mine with satin black Spot on, did mine 12 months ago
