Hi all,

It's me again. It does not rain, it pours lol.

When putting in my new nightbreakers H7's on I noticed a sidelight bulb had gone. Upon removing the rubber cover to show the side light bulb holder (the holder has a couple of inch 'handle') I noticed that one headlight has the long handle broken. I had to use a screwdriver to twist the bulb hold out - not a good task.

Does anyone know where I can obtain a new bulb holder? Tried main dealer and they 1st said I needed a new harness ??!! and then said needed a new headlight!!

There must be one somewhere I can use.

For now I have managed to put it back in with the aid of screwdriver.

Cheers
