bensambrook Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 How difficult is it to change the bulbs, rough time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 10-15 mins, bit awkward getting the unit out but easy enough DIY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Simple. Osram night breakers H1 and H7 for the legal option. sorted Or HIDs for the not so legal option That's exactly what I'm thinking of ordering :) Okay yeah i have looked at them what sort of colour look do they have? I looked on Osram's website and there is the Nightbreaker which is meant to be about the same colour as the DRLs, then there are 2 which are bluer, one road legal and one not. Well just ordered some Philips Crystal Vision H7 which was £22.95 for the dipped beam Those aren't road legal are they? I know that's not a problem to a lot of people though, especially when it's 3 years til first MOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 87 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Cool, and here I am with the car but haven't ordered the bulbs yet. I think I'll get the same H1s but also the Night Breaker H7s. And I might as well detango while I'm at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I might as well detango while I'm at it. The Nightbreakers will still be yellow colour in the dipped beam ! Just so you know thats why i went for the better Crystal Vision H7's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarksST Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Try stoneacre ford in York. £200 for all 3 front parts and the rear section fitted or £175 in exchange for yours exchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The Nightbreakers will still be yellow colour in the dipped beam ! Just so you know thats why i went for the better Crystal Vision H7's Yeah, but I'm hoping they will match the colour of the DRLs as others have said, I know they're still a bit yellow but should look much better than standard. I hope I can try one on the driver's side without taking the whole unit out, then if I'm not happy with it I can go for something else.
