How irresponsible and reckless are you? Do you not listen to our beloved government??

You can't use 40W bulbs now, you must use energy-efficient compact flourescent bulbs. They're totally shit mind, but do as you're told.

Booforty, can I assume from that comment you have them fitted to your car? Are they a pig to fit?

Yes I have 6k and they are a bitch to change. You need to take the front wheels off and the wheel arch panelling to get to the headlight units. Which is why I got someone who knew what they were doing to do it for me

R4R · 12-23-2008, 11:15 AM

ok then how many marriedblonds does it take to change a light bulb?

If they are a PITA to change none as it aint gonna happen

Angels are easy - via the bonnet

Main bulbs are not easy - via the wheel arch

i fitted them on mine, and yes they are a right pain to fit. Well they arnt difficult just a lot of messing around to fit bulbs

(involves taking the front wheels off and then most of the wheel arch plastics)

booforty · 12-24-2008, 04:42 AM

Worth it though!

The 6k bulbs look the dogz and match the GP Thunder angel eyes perfectly
