Types of lamps
Renault Duster cars assembled in both 2012 and 2017 use 55 W low beam lamps equipped with an H7 standard socket. The flask is filled with bromine or iodine vapor, which increases the service life of the tungsten filament. The design of the headlight is not designed for the use of xenon lamps, which can destroy the plastic lens. In addition, for xenon to work, it is necessary to connect the ignition unit to the on-board network. Connecting accessories not approved by the factory may cause the vehicle to catch fire.
There are LED lamps with an H7 connector, which theoretically can be installed in Duster headlights without additional modifications to the electrical circuits. But such a modification (as well as the use of xenon) is regarded by traffic police officers as interference in the design of the car, which entails the deprivation of a driver’s license.
The advantage of LED lamps is the ability to achieve preservation of rights during legal proceedings (unlike situations using gas-discharge light sources).
The design of the headlights of the Renault Duster car uses bulbs with sockets H1 (for high beam), PY21W and W5W (for the direction indicator and side lights, respectively). The connecting terminals comply with international ECE standards, which allows the use of parts from vehicles from other manufacturers. Installing products with increased power (more than 55 W) or altering the bases is strictly prohibited.

White smoke from the exhaust pipe - Mechanical fault: blown cylinder head gasket or if diesel smoke may be released during particle filter regeneration.
It takes a lot of effort to turn the steering wheel - Broken drive belt or insufficient power steering fluid
The system refuses to switch to “2WD” mode or “4WD Lock” mode. AUTO mode remains active - All-wheel drive system malfunction
The engine gets very hot. The coolant temperature warning light comes on. The engine cooling fan is faulty. Coolant leak.
The oil change warning system warning light remains on after the oil change. Oil change warning system failed to reinitialize
Increased frequency of blinking of direction indicators - The lamp has burned out.
Traces of condensation in headlights or lanterns - The presence of condensation on headlight reflectors is a natural consequence of changes in outside air temperature. When you turn on the headlights, the condensation quickly disappears.
How to choose a low beam lamp
Before replacing a failed part, you need to find out which lamp is installed in the opposite headlight. It is not recommended to use lamps produced by different factories, as they may differ in brightness and color temperature. When selecting a part, you should take into account the power and design of the base.
Products must have a special coating on the bulb in accordance with the UV55W standard that does not transmit ultraviolet radiation (to prevent damage to the plastic glass on the headlights).
The most common halogen lamps for Renault Duster:
- Osram Original Line, with input power up to 58 W. The product provides a luminous flux of 1500 lm, and the service life declared by the manufacturer is 550 hours.
- Philips Vision, featuring improved luminous flux. The developer claims a 30% increase in visibility (due to an extended beam of light) compared to standard products. The radiation power is 1500 lm, the service life reaches 550 hours.
- Philips X-treme with 1.3 times increased illumination range. The lamp emits white light with a color temperature of 3500 K. The disadvantage is the reduced resource, not exceeding 450 hours.
- General Electric Megalight Plus 50, which provide a beam of light with a standard color temperature. GE offers modifications to the Megalight Ultra +120% and Megalight Ultra +150% products, which are characterized by an increased illumination range. Lamps must be changed in pairs, which provides improved illumination of the roadway at night.
- Narva Standard with a standard light of a yellowish tint. There is a modification of Range Power White, which has a color temperature increased to 4500 K (white-blue color simulating xenon). The Long Life version differs from standard lamps in its increased resource (light temperature 3000 K). The manufacturer also produces Range Power +50% and +110% products, which have an increased road illumination range.
Is it necessary to change light bulbs in pairs?
Salespeople in automobile markets, having heard that a client is about to replace headlights, strongly advise taking two parts at once. Even if only one burned out. Many drivers consider this a marketing ploy. The reason is ignorance or unwillingness to understand the principle of operation. Halogen elements are common. The filament ignites in gas vapor. Such elements last longer than others. Both bulbs have the same lifespan, and if one burns out, it means the second one is on the way. And it can go out at any moment. The worst thing is if this happens on the road at night. Therefore, they change both at once.
Even until this happens, nothing good will come from such savings: the old headlight shines worse and worse, as opposed to the new one. This misalignment impairs visibility and, as a result, safety. These problems can be eliminated if you spend a little more money and time and replace both bulbs with new ones, the main thing is to make sure that your fingers do not come into contact with the bulb.
It's the same with xenon headlights. They last longer, their reserve is up to 3 thousand hours. In old light bulbs, the gas takes on a purple tint - this is a sign that it is time to change them soon. And also in pairs, since the resource is the same.
As it becomes clear, in the matter of Renault Duster optics, of any year of manufacture, even 2013, even 2022, and indeed any car, there are and cannot be trifles. We are talking about the safety of everyone on the road, which is directly related to how well the driver sees what is happening. Therefore, you should not skimp and it is better to buy branded lamps, and replacing them is not difficult even for a beginner.
Element change process
Before changing the lamps, you must open the hood and disconnect the wiring from the negative terminal of the battery (to prevent the radiator fan from accidentally starting). When the power is turned off, the radio is locked (anti-theft), so you need to find the code in advance. The digital password is recorded by the dealer in the service book when selling the car.
The Renault Duster crossover is equipped with headlights with a unified design; there is no need to dismantle additional parts to replace lighting sources.
Removing the old lamp
To remove a part on a car manufactured in 2013, you must:
Remove the rubber protective cap located on the back of the headlight housing. The plug has a rectangular protrusion for finger grip. The part is held in a special slot located on the body.
If the driver's hand does not fit into the gap between the headlight and the parts in the engine compartment, then the cable of the mechanical light beam corrector should be disconnected. To access the connector, you need to remove the rubber cover, which is pulled together by hand. Then it is necessary to remove the cable tip from engagement with the regulator pusher. After installing the new lamp, the corrector cable and cover are installed in their original places.
Assembling a new element
Before carrying out installation work, it is necessary to remove the new parts from the original packaging, and then attach the power supply plug to the light bulb. The light source is held by hand and a protective glove is put on the hand.
The block is pushed onto the contacts until it stops, polarity is not taken into account. It is not recommended to twist the wires going to the plug.
Installation on a car
To install a lamp in a headlight you must:
- Insert the light source into the mounting hole. At the top of the socket there is a cutout for a guide, which is located on the base. During installation, do not touch the glass bulb with your fingers, as grease marks will cause dark spots to appear on the transparent surface. To remove grease deposits, use a rag or lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol.
- Lift the lamp with the base installed upward, overcoming the force of the spring elements.
- After the latches engage, replace the rubber cover. The plug is evenly distributed over the mounting ring by hand.
- Connect the battery to the vehicle's on-board power supply and check that the light bulb is located correctly inside the lens and that the headlights are working properly.

Lamps used in the Renault Duster car
It is for reasons of safety of drivers and pedestrians that the Traffic Rules and the Technical Regulations on the Safety of Wheeled Vehicles prohibit the operation of vehicles with external lighting devices that do not meet the design requirements of the vehicle. After all, on the one hand, it is necessary that the car is clearly visible on the road, and on the other hand, it is dangerous to blind other drivers or pedestrians with too bright or incorrectly adjusted headlights. Working brake lights will allow drivers moving behind you to keep a safe distance. There are many such nuances, and everyone can save not only money and nerves, but often also health.
Therefore, it is extremely important to know which lamps are provided by the manufacturer for installation in the lighting fixtures of your car, and to be able to replace them if necessary. Lamps used in the Renault Duster car

Replacement nuances for cars of different years
Renault Duster cars are equipped with plastic headlights with mirror reflectors, which have changed little during the modernization. The algorithm for replacing headlight bulbs is standard for crossovers released in 2011 or 2016. The work is carried out by the owner independently, but if difficulties arise, you must contact the nearest service center.
Possible difficulties
Some car owners have problems installing new parts on the left side. To increase the working area, it is necessary to disconnect the cable from the positive terminal of the battery, which is then removed from the machine. The maintenance procedure is shown in a video filmed by crossover owners in the process of self-repair. When performing work, it is prohibited to use excessive force that could destroy the bulb bulb. You can remove glass shards from the headlight only after removing the device from the car.
If after replacement the headlights do not work, then you need to check the fuse (the part fails due to a short circuit or a sharp jump in current in the circuit). The Renault Duster design includes 2 protective elements rated for a current of 10 A, which serve the headlights on the left and right sides of the car. The parts are located in a mounting box mounted on the side of the instrument panel (driver's side). The fuses are removed with tweezers (installed on the cover), and after replacement the headlights are turned on.
