HEADLIGHTS(Adjusting and changing the bulbs)
Front fog lights1
Changing a bulb and adjusting the
beam:
Consult your Renault Dealer.
Additional headlights
If you wish to fit fog lights or long
range headlights to your car, consult
a Renault Dealer.
Any operation on (or
modification to) the
electrical system must be
performed by a Renault
Dealer since incorrect
connections might damage the
electrical installations (harness,
units and, in particular, the
alternator). In addition, your
Dealer has available all the parts
necessary for fitting these units.
