On my way into work this morning I noticed I had a dipped beam not working, so did the standard check ie. gave it a good thump, but no good.

Where's the best place to get a replacement (there's a Halfords close by).

Can anyone give me the difinative list of bulb numbers for:-

Dipped Beam -
Main Beam -
Front Side Lights -
Front Indicators -

I want to upgrade the sidelights aswell as they look yellow compared to the dipped beams & I also want to get silver indicator bulbs as the orange ones looks naff. I may even go the whole hog & uprate the main beams, suggestions for these?

thanks

You want these: http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/product_info.ph...e4c54c6f6b16fa6

I have done this and they look much better

For others I have no idea... Have you tried the Tech FAQ? https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=301506

 

Dipped beam: HID
Main:448 H1 55w or uprated?
Indicators:581 21w Amber
Sidelight: 501 capless 5w or LED see link above

My list is for 00-
MY04 onwards might differ.

 

Thanks for that guys.

I was thinking of buying these off the bay:-



Which pin layout do I need?

 

I noticed tonight that when I switch the lights on, the bulb that's not working does actually start to glow for a split second & then goes out. Is this a failed bulb (I hope) or something more expensive.

 

Urm dipped beam is HID!

 

Are the headlights just user replacable, thought they were Xeon or what ever. Never had them before and just assumed they were special and needed professional treatment if they went?

Soz if I'm asking daft questions.

 

Well from experience the dipped HID are no go at 40k volts!
Main beam I always up to 100W
Side lights I change to super brights
Front indicators look better in silver on pre 04's
Side indicators look best with clear lenses and silver bulbs.

 

Looking through the manual it refers to an "inverter unit and the ignitor unit". Could it be one of these that have gone?

 

If the bulb ignites but only lights momentarily then I'd say it
