Just noticed that one of my sidelights is out and on further investigation noticed thatthey are blue HIDS. Question is, where can I get them from?

 

I have some others but they are bigger so I guess they are for the main beam?

 

Another question is do you have to take the whole light out to replace the main beam bulbs? It looks a nightmare...how do they come out?

 

Bloody bulbs...

First, do you mean Side Lights, or Dipped Beam?

Side Lights are in with your Fog Lights (as I beleive you have a Jap Import), and Dipped Beam is the outter of your Head Light unit.

 

Second, a proper HID wont show up as Blue when switched off (IIRC). There will also be a Ballast pack close by that will determine if it is a HID. Either under the Head Light unit, directly behind it (engine bay) or next to it below the centre (head light) panel (One for each light unit)

 

If it isnt a HID, then it'll be one of those 'Blue Zenon' bulbs they sell on eBay, but if it turns out to be a proper one, then give Chris@getgreedy a shout or Outlander Motorsport (both in the traders section)

 

 

As for changing your Main Beam bulb, it's a pain in the arse as there is so much stuff in the way behind it. Some say it's easy, some don't (I'm the latter ;) ) If you do decide to take the whole lot out (and if you have the time, I'd recomend this) you could take the unit apart and give it a good clean on the inside (Links to dismantling the unit are in the FAQ section) You'll be amazed how much dirt gets in there, and how much better they'll look once you've done it!!

 

HTH

Thanks for the info...I am guessing then it is one of those blue zenon bulbs as it has a different fitment to the HID bulbs I have.

 

Is there a way to convert so that I can use the HID bulbs or do I need to make drastic changes to the dipped light fitment to accomodate?
