    1. I would recommend the canbus friendly ones that have built in resistors. You could use normal LED W5W bulbs, but they wont last long. Check out ebay item number #: 220963429313 i am using similar ones for my number plates and have been running well since. Only downside is that although there are 4 SMD led's on each bulb, you are only really using 2 of the LED's because the other 2 are hidden. But it does reflect back down and is bright enough. You could get something bigger like 4 on each side which would be 8 total SMD's. But not sure if you would be able to fit it in due to the size.

    1. Yes, i will post something later today in the how-to section.

      It's pretty straight forward. To change the bulb you need to take the headlamp housing out. It's held in place with two bolts and a silver collet (Silver Metal Plate). Once you pull the collet up and out, it is actually a tool to use and remove the two bolts with. This is Renault's answer to changing a bulb quickly at the roadside.

      Simply put, remove the collet (The Silver Metal Plate) by pulling it up and out. Then remove two bolts, then pull headlamp forward, it's on a tray that has a track like design, it should come forward and then stop, at this point disconnect the connectors, then tilt the entire headlamp to take it off the track.

      Once the headlamp is completely off, changing the bulbs is straight forward.

      Hope that helps for now.
