However they state they are for 1998-2009 models
But I thought 2003 the lights changed? Mine is a phase 2 and I was certain phase one lights wouldn't fit. However this add doesn't specify
They are depo headlights so hoping for quality.
Thanks in advance

#3: Re: Projector headlights Author: James3107, Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 2:51 pm ---- Ah don't want that! Thanks for the advice. I'll keep looking
For a better brand.

could just pick up some used crystal light?
#5: Re: Projector headlights Author: James3107, Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 2:59 pm ---- It's looking as if I might have to. I wanted projectors though as think it makes the 206 front end a lot more modern
#6: Re: Projector headlights Author: Vexs, Location: LondonPosted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:06 pm ---- They provide a terrible light output though, might want to bare that in mind to.
Have an old set of frosted you can have for the price of P&P if you're in desperate need of some as a temp, if not they're going in the bin.
#7: Re: Projector headlights Author: James3107, Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:15 pm ---- Are they easy to retro fit? I thought the wiring was completely different.
If the light output is that terrible then I won't
Bother with projectors. As I do a lot of night driving and rely heavily on the lights,
Will a hid kit not fit with projectors?
#8: Re: Projector headlights Author: America, Location: Catania, ItalyPosted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:21 pm ---- I put some hid's in my projectors, I think they are H7s if I remember. Between my foglights and the hid's I never have to use my high beams on dark nights on the twisty hilly roads around where I live. The headlights were on the car when I bought it they look a lot like the link.... Never have had a problem with water getting in them.

#9: Re: Projector headlights Author: Vexs, Location: LondonPosted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:24 pm ---- Just seen your's are H7's and mine are H4's not sure if your could retro fit, you would have to find out. Offer stands though if you need them, they're only taking up space.
I'm sure you could, but a £50 fine and VDRS isn't worth the hassle if you ask me.
#10: Re: Projector headlights Author: James3107, Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:28 pm ---- Thanks I'll google to see if retro fitting is doable. And I thought hid were legal in projectors just not in reflectors. Which I would never do.
I just like the look of projectors but want to keep it as OEM as I can don't really want angel eyes.

Sounds exactly what I want! I do pizza deliveries and a lot
Of unlit roads and sick of the poor lighting of the halogen units.
Now they've broken I've a good excuse to upgrade to projectors.
Mot all go okay?
#12: Re: Projector headlights Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:33 pm ---- you can fit crystal on old 206 (need some tweak on the wiring), don't know if you can fit frosted on new 206. As the headlamp system is not the same.
I think crystal use 1 bulb for dip light and 1 bulb for main beam; frosted use the same bulb for dip and main beam Last edited by Seabook on Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:45 pm; edited 1 time in total
#13: Re: Projector headlights Author: James3107, Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:40 pm ---- Yeah crystal has seperate h7 bulbs for dipped and main beam. Nobodies probably tried it. Why would
You downgrade from crystal to frosted anyway.
#14: Re: Projector headlights Author: Vexs, Location: LondonPosted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:40 pm ---- For HID's your car is supposed to have an auto leveling system and also a headlight washer system I believe for them to be considered legal, and of course to be in cased in a projector.

How strict is that rule? I can't see the police checking for auto levelling on a regular stop? Presumably just the projector casing which I would have anyway. I can't stand looking at hids in reflectors when they are coming at you head on and certainly wouldn't subject anyone else
To that by doing it myself.
Mot isn't really an issue as my mechanic wouldn't bother about washers or self levelling as
Long as they didn't blind oncoming traffic.
#16: Re: Projector headlights Author: Vexs, Location: LondonPosted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 3:58 pm ---- All depends on how fussy your local plod are to be honest. In London they seem to be pulling people quite a lot for it, even as going as far as sitting past the brow of hills to catch people out.
Realistically any decent MOT'er should be failing you on it, but Dodgy Dave does like a drink
#17: Re: Projector headlights Author: America, Location: Catania, ItalyPosted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 4:03 pm ---- My projectors passed the Italian "Revisione" with the hid's last year.
#18: Re: Projector headlights Author: James3107, Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 4:10 pm ---- Here in Yorkshire they're pretty laid back to be fair, and it's hardly a danger up to the vehicles that some people drive. It'll all be fully declared on insurance.
So now it's pretty much impossible to retro fit hid's? As where
Possible can you get auto levellers and washers if that make
Of car doesn't have hids as standard or an option? Pretty sure that 206's didn't? Although I could be wrong. Seen plenty of them with clear hids fitted though. Admittedly most are still I'm reflector headlights.
Shame on you few! Giving the 206 a chav status.

Correct.
Phase 1/Frosted => H4, one bulb w/ 2 filaments, only one on at a time as the single bulb can't take the heat from both filaments.
Phase 2/Crystals=> H7, two bulbs w/ 1 filament each, dipped remains on along with high.
Just as you with a relay can keep the dipped on along with the high beam when going from frosted to crystals, you could use a relay to cut off the supply to the dipped when the high turns on if you switch from crystals to frosted...
If the car doesn't have both type of connectors on the loom, you'd need a physical adaptor (like you need a mains plug adaptor when using UK electrical stuff on the continent)
IIRC it can also be done (both ways) w/o relays by changing the COM module and a BSI settings tweak.
But as James307 said, why downgrade - it's not like crystals are expensive/hard to find...

Exactly. If I can't get decent projectors I'm just going to buy some very good condition crystals. The lights currently work they are screwed together though and one isn't secured very well as all the clips have snapped and I've soldered them together. But it's poor plastic for soldering and seems to blister under heat.
I really want devil eyes but they seem impossible to find with a h7 fitment so it's a no go on them. Only others are angel eyes and I'm not sure if the angel eyes are gonna be led or halogen. Halogen angel eyes will look terrible with hid lights and I don't think you can change the bulbs in them.

There should be a compulsory test to join this forum
Question 1
Do these lights look good?
Question 2
Is this exhaust a good idea?
Question 3
Would you be seen dead driving this car?
If you answer yes to any of the above it's an instant refusal of
