jkr46 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I have a 97 facelift, and my dipped head light bulb blew the other day i've bought a hb3 bulb as that was what came out but comparing the two who ever fitted the old bulb dun some DIY on it to make it fit, spoke to a bulb shop and they reckoned i need a h3 but lookin at it i dont think the connector on the end of the wire will fit the back of the bulb! my MOT is wednesday so in abit of a rush so any help would be much appreciated!!!!!

Ian Ian Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 Halfords sell them .....but take your "old" bulb and match the glass bulb bit so it fits in the headlight its self and then you have to "trim " the plastic to suit the Holder ...there is a better explanation on here somewhere just try the "search" button Cheers -Ian- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 I did the same thing. There are 2 types at Halfords. One will fit the connector in your car, but the bulb won't fit into the hole in the headlight. The other fits the hole, but not the connector. All you need to do is shave off the ridges of the one that fits the hole, and Voila! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 When I bought replacement bulb I had no trouble with the fitting at all. No trimming required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 !Being chased by a 100 foot high mutated spider ? Don't be so silly. Even if a spider did mutate to 100ft it would still not be strong enough structurally to lift itself in our gravity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
