I couldnt get any of those locally at Halfords either, they had all the rest except what you need as per usual.

The word from my local garage is that the replacements they can get fail quickly and they will only fit Genuine LR bulbs, which their factor doesn't supply.

I heard an advert on the radio today for Halfords selling car bulbs and they will fit them for ONLY £7. Up until a couple of years ago they would fit them free.

I was running mine on HB3 Nightbreakers and found signs of melting/distortion on the LH lens in line with the projector, Rh side fine. Headlight unit replaced under Warranty and dealer says they'd not seen any like that before, I'd fitted the standard original before I took it in but the RH side still has the upgraded bulb. Anyone else seen or heard of this? MY14 TD4 manual XS Orkney grey.

make sure you dont touch the glass part of the buld, as this can cause the light to fail quicker.. soemthing to do with the grease on your skin.

when you say the ulb went and you tried 3 times, do you mean you've tried a new bulb each time and it's not working?

Hi and thanks for quick reply Ive checked to see what fuse it was that may have blown all I could see was the one for the main headlamp unit couldn't see a fuse for the side lights I'm going to start again with it by checking the fuse lay out again then checking the lamp and metering the power supply to go to the lamp unit itself then taking a set back to start again after a break from it. |

There is no fuse for the sidelights, its supplied via a FET. The FET also supplies the rear sidelight on that side, so if that is working then more than likely you have a local to the headlight fault. |
