I am sure threads vanish! There was a thread called "Full Beam" and I used the 'trusty' search assistant but couldn't find it

Anyway I got my Osram Silver Star H1 main beam bulbs and my free Philips Bluevision sidelights yesterday and although Hazdj was kind enough to offer to fit I was too impatient and had a go tonight... in the dark

Anyway with a torch in hand and the S2000 Handbook I began. My hands are quite small and it was not too difficult to do, the rubber seal seems difficult but comes off easy enough and everything went back together very easy. All in all in took me about 40 minutes to do the lot.

The side lights were much harder as you have to remove the plastic cover under the front wheel arches - well not quite remove fully more undo and pull away a little. Not only do you have to undo the clips under the arch nr the body but there is also one in the middle front of the arch that makes it easier to do if removed.

The results seem good, but I have not had a chance to drive with my full beam on yet to compare. The side lights are a fantastic, especially as they were free, the yellow tint has gone and they are the same colour as the Xenons which is cool. The only problem now is that I MUST HAVE the silvervision indicators for the front and sides to complete.

Tried taking some pics, but they looked naff and did not really do it any justice.

If you get some do it yourself! Its very easy and if I can do it anyone can, just needs a little patience, something I was not blessed with

I forgot to say...

Don't buy the bulbs I got, make sure you pay the extra

I'm going for the Rally's - main beam is for you to see not for others to admire!

I had a half hearted stab at installing mine and then gave up. Probably because I had a load of other stuff to do. Will give it a more determined effort later this week.

One more drive down the Tatton straight in the dark should motivate you

Fieldl

Or the chance to go and 'try' them out when its done

Needs to stop bloody raining though

Main Beam will be like close encounters of the third kind

Exactly what is needed on the Tatton run in the dark! Had them in my 290BHP SAAB no such thing a dark with them!

Hi Moff

The post is a few pages back.

I got my Rallys yesterday and was going to send you a PM to see if you needed any help.

It is quite easy if you have small hands, but the rubber seal is a pig to put back on.

Happy to help anyone local if needed.
