My wife wanted blue headlight bulbs for our Z'd import, so I did the sensible thing and searched the forums for tips, having read previosly that there was a problem regarding the number of terminals.

Anyway I went to halfords with a main and a dipped beam bulb as a pattern.

The book in halfords stated No 448 for both, but that was abviously wrong as the 448 only matched the main beam bulb (except for the number of terminals). The dipped beam bulb I couldn't even match for size/ shape with anything in the place.

Going back to the 448 main beam replacement, it has only one terminal whereas the one I had had two.

I don't know if this has been covered somewhere already but I found after some fiddling that the two terminal block on my bulb is only an adapter and you can pull it apart revealing a one terminal bulb which slots into the two terminal adapter.

Hey presto I now have blue light main beams with no soldering.

From what I could see nothing even came close to my dipped beam bulb let alone the number of terminals.

 

QUESTION what bulb (bluecolour) do I have to get to then modify any help would be appreciated. Or can I obtain a blue bulb abroard
