It'll be all white on the night......

Sorry terrible title, but just a wee mod to the big girl, got some new white foglight bulbs as one had gone, they're cheap enough, 20quid for the pair, Ultra Power i think is the name, but look good. Was an easy job, had the lot done in 10mins.

Have the sidelights to do as well, but need to get the headlights off as I can't get the fingers in enough with the cover off to get them out. So here it is, excuse the dirt of the front had just done a 200mile round trip to home the day before

Anyways, before

and after


I think it looks quite good, once the side lights are done it'll finish it off, might even do the indicator bulbs or is that a step too far......

Comments are always welcome

Cheers

Looks good Mark, I hate the yellow glow from the standard bulbs!!

Can you send me a link to where you got them from?

My mate had the sidelights before and recommended them. The brand name is Ultra Power and just an H3 bulb for the fogs. I got them from the local motorstore at home, but heres a link to a place that does them, same price I got them for. https://www.ragingspeed.co.uk/catalog/p ... ts_id=1419

The job itself was easy enough the grill to the side of the fog light is easy to take out, managed to pull the bottom bit of the grill out enough with my fingers till it stuck then used a flat screwdriver to release the top tab and it popped out, no force needed. There are two screws holding the foglight in place, undid them and the whole unit slides out. The drivers side has a longer wire than the passenger side, which makes it a bit easier. Took the screw cap off the back of the unit and then your into the workings of the light. Theres a retaining clip to hold the bulb in place, that comes off and the bulb is free to come out. Just unclip the wire and then stick the new bulb in and connect the wire to the connector, do the clip back up, screw the cap on and stick it all back in the hole. Switch the lights on and there it is.

Are they any brighter than the OEM bulbs?

Thanks for the link btw.

Do you know which side light bulb is required?

Cheers

couldn't say to be honest, they're the same volts and watts as the bulbs that came out

no bother on the link

the sidelights are 501 W5W i think is the bulb, i'll check mine tonight
