HID bulb replacement - Which bulb fits?
« on: April 16, 2014, 03:00:11 pm »
Hi guys

My main headlight bulb went out today and I'm unsure on what bulb I need for a replacement.

When I bought the car it came fitted with HIDs and I can't find anywhere which bulb I will need to replace it. Does anyone know if there is a standard or will I need to get the correct ones for the kit?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Jon

Replace both bulbs at the same time though

Wicked! Thanks for the quick response.  :happy2:

Are they easy enough to change? Or will it be a front bumper off jobby?

A little bit tricky. You should be able to in clip the fuel filter for more room. It's the passenger side that's the hardest.

Give it a go and get on you tube if you get stuck

I got ap racing 6k kits of eBay which I haven't had a problem with since having them in for a year +

I'm sure you could buy the bulbs seperate (I'd go 5k if I ever did)
