Syphoning Diesel from my 07 Megane

I have finally decided to get rid of my 57 Megane 1.5 DCI Dynamique Estate. Whilst it is incredibly economical, I have always found it very uncomfortable to drive. The pedals seem to be in the wrong place for me and after around 18 months of ownership, I still have yet to find a comfortable driving ...

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

I always check my lights are clean before using the car.

I am aware that bulbs in rear projection televisions do get brighter after a period of 'burning in' so maybe the same applies to HID lights?

I will get some stuff to clean off any gum from the stickers even though I can't see any.

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

If you mean on the way to and from Germany, then sort of but not very heavy. If you mean when I am being flashed by other drivers, then no, not at all. Just me and sometimes one other person in the car. I am wondering if there is perhaps any gum from the beam divertors left on the glass. I can't see...

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

Nothing else is wrong with the car that I am aware of. Yes, I have fiddled with the beam height adjusters but only because of being flashed so often. I did consider lowering the beam but have always had it on highest setting without problems. Is it possible the bulbs get brighter after a period of u...

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

I have been using my car with the HID lights since my last posts without any problems. Nobody flashed me because my lights were too bright. However................ I recently travelled to Germany and immediately upon my return I was being flashed and am still being frequently flashed at, so somethin...

Re: Are my headlamps 'Projector' headlamps?

I have projector headlamps then!

Now I can work out where to stick the beam converters.

Are my headlamps 'Projector' headlamps?

I have a Megane 1.5 Diesel Dynamique estate 57 Reg. I am soon to take it to mainland Europe on holiday. I have purchased some beam deflectors but am a little confused where they should go. The instructions mention two types of headlight. Projector and standard. It depends what they are where the def...

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

I have seen that.

I am hoping I can just remove the bottom bolts and the ones on the drivers side wheel arch and get my arm up and find the tube to free it.

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

I can change normal bulbs with a lot of swearing and grazed, bruised wrists. I always wonder if anyone who sees the marks assume I have tried to slash my wrists, as they get quite badly marked. I have to take the passenger wheel off when doing it. Renault must have designed it with a view to drummin...

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

Used the car this morning and as the windscreen was a bit grubby I selected was and wipe and found that my windscreen washers now have very weak jets. I must have squashed the tube from the water bottle so will possibly have to strip the front off again. :cry Another thing...... When I was reassembl...

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

Just had a sit in the car and tested the lights. Lovely and bright now, that's how headlights should be as standard! I did notice that when they first come on, they dim a bit after a couple of seconds, but are still very bright. I assume this is normal? I must get some spare bulbs now as I like to c...

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

I think megane headlights are aiming lower than other makes for some reason.

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

Did you find you had to lower your beam using the load adjusters because they were so bright?

Apparently if you fit these that should be considered.

Re: Dipped lights not bright enough

All done and working.:D Both sides didn't work initially, so I swapped round the cables with the flat blades and all was well. Although the instructions said to connect red to red and black to black, both the cables on the plug were black and no markings to indicate + or -. Thanks for letting me pic...
