Title: How to change Bi-Xenon DRL bulbs
Post by: AntGTD on 15 March 2015, 20:15

Evening guys.

In the next couple of week i will be changing the Xenon bulbs in my headlights for Osram Cool Intense Blue bulbs and want to change the DRL bulbs at the same time while i have the headlights out. The bulbs are too warm, i want to pure white.

My question is, which bulbs do i need as there seems to be a conflicting information on the tinternet.

The DRL bulbs on the Xenons are LEDs and are not interchangeable.

I put the Osram CBI bulbs in last year, excellent upgrade but no need to remove lights to fit.

Hi Mike.

I had seen that on a couple of posts and was hoping it was not the case but looks like i'm going to have to live with it :sad:

Passenger side xenon bulb looks to be fairly easy to replace, drivers side looks to be a massive PITA with out removing the headlight.

How did you replace yours?
