As title really - mine are cracked and a bit dull-looking, so would buying new ones from renault improve them?

Just an idea like lol

I had all new lights all round - every exterior light!

Just as rubbish as before - no improvement in vision - keeping them clean all the time does a better job...

They do look fantastic though - deffo the best mod I've done to the car so far - freshens the front end up a treat 8)

You can remove stone chips from headlights with wet dry samd paper. Brings them up like new.

or glass polish from a specialist shop for a decent finish

I was never impressed by Clio headlights. I went out and bought silly £35 bulbs - and then I discovered all you have to do is adjust them upwards using the adjustment screws. Clio headlights are great, they all just point at the ground for some reason. And yes my headlight adjustments do pass MOTs!
