Just had a warning indicator come on showing a headlight.... never seen this one before, so I did a circuit of the car to check and found the nearside main headlight out...

Hey ho...

I have the standard units which I assume are 55w H7 Halogens... (the guy who specced it obviously didn't want the fancy HIDS, Xenons....)

So, the question is, do I need to buy direct from the dealer for £1,000 or can I get one from Halfords for £9.99? Seems I can get them off eBay for £2.99... cool..

Can I get a brighter or different bulb from somewhere local (i.e up the power rating or go to a whiter builb without issue) or am I stuck with being Mr normal...?

Yes you can just pick them up at Halfords but you might want to read this thread (and follow the link to Powerbulbs)

BTW

You might as well change the pair whilst you are at it. There is a good chance that the other one will go soon too.

Thanks mate. Top link! Especially as they're about 2 miles from my house and I must have driven past them a few times!

They don't have a trade counter (or open Saturdays), but I'll put my order in for the Phillips bulbs on Monday and see if I can be cheeky to pick them up the same day...

Cheers
