Hi all,

Im in need of replacing my dipped beam bulbs and just want to make sure im looking at the right thing.

Also am i right in thinking that the standard bulbs are 4300k?

if anyone has had any experience with bulbs from ebay id love to hear how you have found them. they just seem too cheap to be true. they are going for £90 a pair at halfords!!!

Thanks,

Ross

4300k is OEM, although ~ 5500k will be the brightest

Too f ucking blue - stick to 4300K.

Brill thanks! Also from doing a search it seems very debatable why the easiest way to change the bulbs are. Either bumper off lights out bulb in which seems a little extreme or front wheel arch liner off and in that way. I've never done either, any ideas which is quicker and easier? I've changed the sidelights through the arch but never took the whole liner off. I'm guessing there are just a few more poppers to come off

Thanks.

I remove the bumper...MUCH less fiddly!!!

Its not a job for the feint hearted though, and ideally requires two people
