Help needed from owner of 265/275 with OEM black non-xenon headlights

Discussion in 'Electrical & Interior - Security, ICE, Wiring Loom' started by Space Cadet, Feb 17, 2017.

  1. Could I please have the registration number of a car that came as standard with the black non-xenon headlights.


    Before buying some copies off the internet I would like to know the price of the OEM Renault headlights as if they are not much more expensive I will buy them rather than the copies.


    My local Renault parts dept. are having trouble tracking down the headlight part numbers therefore have asked if I could provide the registration number of a car that came with them as standard.


    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  3. Thanks Nick, you are a gent!


    I'm assuming that all the headlight shapes are the same and the only differences are silver/black and non-xenon/xenon?
     
  4. You couldn't get Xenons on mine.
     
  5. Sorry Nick, what I mean was that would a much later CUP-S’ headlight fit my earlier 250? I.e. the only differences between all the different years and models was the colour or whether xenon.
     
  6. When I gave Renault your registration it came up with two options: black & chrome or black & white. Presumably yours are the black & chrome.


    Regardless they wanted £500+ (I can’t remember exactly) for a pair!!! Looks like I will be getting the copies from eBay then!
     
  7. Nick has the facelift Meg so the front lights are different to your 250.

    You need the reg of some with a pre facelift Meg 265/275
     
  8. A-ha, many thanks, much appreciated.
     
  9. Pretty sure the black surround headlights on a 250/265 werent a factory option anyway.
     
  10. Thanks Ryan!
     
  11. Try mine HV12UTK. It's a 265 cup and has the black surround headlights (non zenon)

  17. Thanks.

    I finally got somewhere with Renault - a pair would've been £380 but one side actually isn't available anymore!!

    Not sure I can warrant the extra £180 over getting a pair of copies off eBay anyway, Mark RS is really happy with the pair he's bought so I will do the same.

    Thanks for everyone's help!
     
  18. Can you retro fit the black ones on to a car with xeons?
     
  19. You can get black xenon headlights too as far as I'm aware.

    Just have to wait for a pair to turn up and switch them over with your current xenon headlights
     
  20. If this is true, be careful out there! One bump and the cars written off due to no spares :astonished:

    Seriously though, this can't be right. I'm sure there's some sort of European agreement, if not a law, that car manufacturers will provide spare part supply for 10 years after the end of production.

  21. It may more have been a case then that they were just not available at this point in time from Renault, I didn't think to question him.
