Dipped Headlight

Postby Dave » Tue Mar 23, 2004 10:58 am

one of my headlights went there last night, haven't had a chance to look under the bonnet to see how easy it is to get the bulb in or out.....
any one know how is easy it is and if it's just a case of bringing the bulb to any motor factors for a replacement.

Very easy just twist it at the back and they will pop out. The bulbs are supposedly the same as the Puma, So if the motor factor is looking in a book and cant find it, Search for puma.

The bulbs look different to most other cars as theirs an 'L' shaped plastic bracket that comes out with the bulb.

You'll probably best off getting two bulbs as the other one will probably go in the next couple of weeks, yep very easy too do, i'm not sure which is dips and main but the bulbs you want are

hb9005
hb9006

just sorted it there, fairly handy to do and for a meager €8 it's done, a bit mucky cos it was on the same side as the air filter and that is in need of a clean....
