W8 light arrived
« on: 30 June 2009, 21:06 »
Won my W8 light on eBay paid average price £36

Couldn't believe it when it arrived the seller had taken the 4 bulbs...

All I can say is what a fecking pikey there obviously being hit by the recession hard  :grin: :grin:

Now I've got my grumble off my chest  :wink:

Can someone tell me what bulbs I need to order

I haven't got a sunroof but what's the difference?

Yes the guy is tight - perhaps he's a used bulb collector  :grin:

thats expensive for the non-sunroof version.  I paid £28 from the dealers AND they supplied me with the bulbs too  :tongue:

Sunroof version is about £65!!!

The only buttons on it are left and right for the lights and a central rocker light so I deduce its a non sunroof just what i need  :wink:
