Guys Guys.. my left headlight (dipped beam) bulb is dead and I just called BMW and they are telling me I have to pay R380 for one H7 standard bulb and also pay R370 for installing it, iI mean just under R800 for one light bulb..noh...Is there anyone who knows where i can get it for a reasonable price?

I'm sure you can install that thing yourself

Menno11 · 09-09-2011, 02:42 AM

Get a set of Osram Nightbreaker + from Midas for R150 and then replace both your bulbs yourself. They give 100% better light than the standard bulbs. I've got them in my car and it only takes 15 minutes to replace. (10 minutes learning curve on the one and 5 minutes on the other light) just dont touch the bulb when replacing them, otherwise they will fail prematurely.

Replaced my dips and high beams with the Nightbreakers, so much better than the standard bulbs. Brighter and more white, but also fuller and throws a longer beam! Yep, R300 for four bulbs and relatively easy DIY. A bit fiddly on the left side, but really easy actually! As said, don't touch the bulb - best is to use clean tissue paper to prevent any greasiness from fingers getting onto the glass...

Just a quick question - are these Halogens or Xenon's, coz I'm looking to replace my halogens. They really are quite dim. I want to replace the lights entirely for a set of projectors or something like that in time, but for now maybe these will do the trick.

Thanks!

Halogens! The H7 bulbs, wish I had Xenons!

I see you have Nankang tyres, so non-RFT's - how did you get that right with motorplan? Just curious, couldn't even convince them to accept Hankook RFT's, because they're not BMW Approved tyres...
