I am facelifting my 2010 Le sport to my2013 headlights and are trying to wire the headlights up instead of making wiring loom adapters like wystonpj post I have seen. Any comments or diagrams would be greatly appreciated

I've done this very swap - same reason because of crud ones in from standard. The bulbs are HB3.

Forget what Halfords etc are saying, the halogen lamp for MY13 is HB3 and one per side. |

It is a few minutes job My Osrams have lasted over a year now and still OK, so longevity is fine.

I was quite p****d at the state of my lighting and also couldn't get a straight answer regarding the need for beam deflectors abroad, I took my car into a friends garage and he put the alignment thingy on and the lights were way too high and to the right from new.

I'll check them out on my white garage door at night and if they look odd will adjust.......

Drove through the night last Saturday from Lyon to Chester (phew that was knackering) had no problems with the beams on dipped, metro has the zenons and are a flat beam so no uplifting on left hand side, in my old merc was constantly flashed at night on the continent, will not be bothering with deflectors, these are perfect. Hit it he said, Hit it!--So I hit it, then he hit me---Doh! |
