Im wondering what options i have to "upgrade" my lights from the standard yellow i have, to something a bit more white. Some of the stuff ive looked at seem to be for xenons.

Just so you know i dont have xenons i believe theyre angel eyes with the usual H7 bulb in the centre....

Thanks

You need to be clearer here...you can't have xenons with the usual H7 bulb can you...? Is yours LCI?

What im trying to say is that based on advice of some retailers i purchased some bulbs only to find out that theyre for xenons which my car does not have.

My car does have angel eyes and yes i think its an LCI (If this is confirmed by what the controller in the car looks like then heres a link http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content...s_image012.jpg)

The way the lights front lights look like can be found http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content...s_image021.jpg - keeping in mind theyre not xenon (but the ones shown in this image probably are)

Hope this helps

Yep, that's an LCI.

You could try these, they get good reviews. They use Xenon gas but are not the same as HID Xenons like in the pic in your link so will fit your car.

Bare in mind that they are quite hard to change as you have to do it through the wheel arch. Also, AFAIK, bulbs are covered under warrantee so if you replace them you loose the the free replacements if they blow.

Ok so Halfords super brilliance http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/s...egoryId_205263

and for the angel eyes http://www.phoenixautobulbs.co.uk/ph...-80-p-195.html

Are there any steps of carrying out the replacment? I read the manual and it gives the basics and makes it sound easy?

Sorry mate, my link was for the main lights (dipped and/or main beam) as an alternative to the halfords ones.

But I think they are the wrong size, meant these ones - H7 - http://www.phoenixautobulbs.co.uk/ph...-80-p-203.html

I think Angel eyes use different bulbs but I'm not sure what they are.

Bloody hell.......all that just to change the colour of the bulb

I thought it was going to be an easy job too but then I read about wheel arches, and doing it all by feel, and dropping clips into bumpers and voiding the bulb warantee - so I sacked it!
