Post by: Dutch on February 01, 2011, 07:15:19 PM

What it says above...looked in the book but it comes up with type 9000Q or something stupid and telling me to go to the dealer  :017:

Had a look in the half dark already but not much space to work with fusebox etc... is it a light out jobby ?

Cheers

If I remember correctly, the UK owners manual tells you to go to a dealer.  The USA version I downloaded tells you how to do it.  Or use the link provided by Tim.

Definately a H4, and very tricky to do, but I manged to do it without taking out the headlight unit.  It is very tight behind the headlamp.  Just be careful when removing the retaining clip, I broke a bit of plastic, but it didn't affect anything.

Now that's advice I can work with, top man Ivan.(&Tim)   Also read Tim's link.  Thanks.
