i'm really really going to have a crack at this mod this weekend - anyone live near bristol??

 

I would suggest you use a 1200 grit and a 2000 grit wet and dry sand paper..otherwise you maybe there a while trying to polish out the scratches...

 

SamUK I'm going to have a crack at the detango - just a bit scared of the whole oven thing .............. ;-)

 

I'm in the middle of cooking right now!!!! Just realised that the bulbs I have from halfords are the wrong ones!! where can I get these ones from ...

 

Iain, you popped yours in the oven? i used a fan heater and it work wonders...


Juts make sure the lens inside is 100% clean...before sticking back together..

 

thanks sam - one down one to go!

 

all done - what was I worrying about? The hardest part for me was disconnecting some of the wiring looms! I just need some silver bulbs now can someone advise me where to get them from please.

 

Try these

 

Here you go:

Philips Silver Vision WY21W from Power Bulbs#

 

Ah, I never clicked your link

 

 

thanks !

 

all ordered

 

Bulbs all in and car looking nice and silver and smooth. They sent me a pair of Philips W5W's small blue bulbs but I've got no idea what they are for or whether they will even fit the scoob, could possibily for side inidicators or side lights??

Anyone?

 

You'll see how bright they are at night when you see the road signs flashing orange too! As for the blue bulbs, they sent me a set too but I haven't fitted them. It would just attract unwanted attention from the cops. I reckon they're for the side lights though.

 

W5W's are for the front side lights.

If they are the same as mine, they only look Blue when they are off. They give out a crisp white light when on, much brighter than standard.

In that case I will give them a try. Thought they were blue when on too.

 

There are different types.

The type that are a dark Blue when off will show Blue when on.....not good.

The Super White type that Lawrence LLewelyn would probably describe as having a hint of Blue when off, show only White when on

 

whereabouts are these located? I cant see to remove them now the headlights are fitted back into the car

 

Lights have to come out I'm afraid, although you should be good at that by now

 

really? save that for a rainy day then ....... shouldn't be long to wait now!

 

Did mine the other week, looks so much better

 

Just done mine, and it does indeed look the dogs. Wish I'd known about this little tip first though. I ended up having to take out the battery to get to the screws on the passenger side, and still lost one into the engine bay...

And yep, like everyone else it appears, I didn't buy bulbs first and didn't finish until after Halfords shut for the day. Oh well, just going to have to take my existing bulbs into work tomorra and spray them until my new silver ones come from Powerbulbs.com (ordered just now on advice from this thread). Thanks very much to the OP for concise and easy to follow instructions
