Looking to replace my headlight bulbs and found kit on eBay.
I know they are cheap but will serve the purpose for the time being.

Item No 230418183942

And looked at removing the cover for dipped beam and not sure on the cover removal. It turns about half inch then stops is this a twist and pull cover or is there a process of removing this?
Guidence would be appreciated.

Twist and pull, where its stopped its probably not rotated enough, mine was the same nice and tight, just try twisting a little more and give it a wiggle and it will pull straight out.

I only changed the high beam bulbs in mine because of the jdm hid lights ( from same seller on eBay ), the bulb was slightly longer for some reason than the one that came out and was a right bitch to get in, it fitted but only just and was extremely tight, the bulb would twist but would keep popping out of 1 of the 3 lugs, got it eventually but like I said was a pain and to be honest I don't know if they were any better than the standard ones that came out, if not as bright I put a set of halfords main beams in my new one and would defo say they were brighter than the ones I bought off eBay first time around

be careful with ebay bulbs. Those from other than the big manufacturers, Philips, hella, osram, GE, have been shown to produce LESS usable light in tests than standard bulbs from the recognised manufacturers.

In this case, it really is, you get what you pay for.

Confirmed what I thought then!

Halfords bulbs are pretty good in all fairness to them an if they on sale bud would defo consider them. Like I say i only changed the main beams so can't comment on the headlight bulbs, I also put the led side light bulbs in, I found them to be a nice crisp white light also, something you may want to consider

Have tried ebay bulbs, poor pattern, poor light output, lasted 2 weeks. Tried halfords own make, poor pattern. Got some osram night breakers (bought off ebay for half the price of halfords)....awesome, great light output, good pattern.....end of.

Just bought set of the osram night breakers off eBay £12.50 in lncluding delivery (H1) for the pair.
You can get the same for the main beam HB3 as well!
Any surgestions on side lights, looking at the LED ones but so many to choose from?

Just picked a set of the blue side light bulbs.....they come out bright white. You can't go wrong with the osram night breakers , only 55watt but much brighter. still have the halfords 80watt ones in the garage...they were £10 each.

There are blue sidelights and BLUE sidelights.
I had some of the latter and got told to swap them back by VOSA.
