Did leave yourself wide open

 

 

cant you even help me Chris ?

 

its easy mate, just pull off the gromet on the back of the headlight, push the bulb holder on each side for it to release, then its just a matter of taking the clip off the back of the bulb and its out.

 

It is that easy for a classic! For a blob-eye it a nightmare

 

You need to squeeze the two sides of the rubber cover together in order to pull it off. Then there are two sides to the wire clip, but you'll see what to do.

Don't touch the glass on the new bulb. Once it's in, ensure it's seated properly before, and after refitting the connector, or the beam will be all over the place.

Simple really.

Oh: forgot to mention, you need hands the size of Jeremy Beadle's little 'un and the patience of a saint, even to do that!

 

all done, thanks lads for the advice.

My new Xenon bulbs are now in and they are 10times better than standard, just need to find some for the sidelights now

 

Tony... are you looking for the sidelights that basically shine bright white ?
Let me know how you get on please as I have just changed to a classic and have put crystal clear sides in, the clear bulbs let them down as they seem to have the yellowish tint to them.
My mate thinks you have to get bulbs that have a blue tint in them ? to get them bright white ? got no idea myself so I don't even know where to start lol

Cheers

Try Autolamps Online, they used to give away, and maybe still do, a pair of very white sidelights with every pair of Philips Vision Plus bulbs bought from them.

They probably sell 'em seperate too.

Top Man thanks Alcazar

 

I have been thinking of changing the bulbs on my STI 7 for a while, where did you get these?
