Headlamp / Xenons / quick answers please
« on: 15 May 2006, 12:34 »
Hi All

Hope you guys are all well..
Just noticed a crack on my headlamp (drivers)...Noticed some condensation build up so better change it or risk electrical problems..
Now i know the headlamp change is a bit of a mission on these...i.e drop bumper etc...I'm pretty sure i could do it but just wondered if there are any special tools needed for the job..
Also, would you guys recommend i change the bulbs whilst out also? If so, is it worth going for aftermarket xenons? I used them before some years back on another car, but found them cheap and tended to blow easily...Are there any decent reliable one to look out for?

If anyone has any useful info on the whole headlamp change thing - please feel free to enlighten me ;-)

Have a good day!
