OK thanks folks  Just ordered em from Amazon £4 cheaper than my link above and should be here tomorrow  Now are they easy to fit or are these the ones where you need tiny hands to get in? Must wear nitrile gloves, as lotsa sharp metal in the way and helps with any accidental contact with bulb glass which buggers it prematurefully. Passenger side a dawdle......driver’s side......remove wee black popper which secures screenwash filler neck, and bend said neck towards car front oot the way.....improves access if not got a Gynaecology degree. IMPORTANT.......you will note new bulb has a rubber grommet/washer seating ring fing........make sure it comes away with OLD bulb removal, as you will never get new wans seated if old grommet still in shitu......Sean Connery speak. What a neck spert.....! |

Never had a problem changing the RAV's bulbs (the sidelight bulbs are another matter entirely!!!! :no:)
The Saab's h/l bulbs are a complete sh1t to change!

I'm lucky in that I've a length, over half a mile, of dead straight, unlit, dead end road locally where I tried out my existing nightbreakers ( the original version ). |

It cant be as bad as the Citroen Xsara that I used to own, I liked the car but wasnt happy about the main beam so bought some new bulbs, then spent an hour trying to get my hand into a position to try and remove one of the headlight bulbs, eventually I popped into the dealer where I bought the car, they said you have to remove the headlight unit, and to do that you have to remove the front bumper.
Needles to say I put up with the existing bulbs.

Hallo Would this fit to MK III ? No, the 4.3 had a twin headlight configuration with independent bulbs for the main and dip beams. I expect that you will find the Nightbreaker Lasers are available in the right bulbs for your motor. |
