There should also be two screws between the centre bars but they are not always there.

Thanks, Peter - I'll have a look tomorrow when I pick it up from the garage - and then I best see about ordering some HIDs. I ordered some LEDs for the sidelights today, so I'll see how they go.

Hi.
4300k Gives the best white light and what a difference they make, leave the plastic diffuser in and they look good you will have to adjust the beam level a tad but well worth it. Norman -------------------- Ex 98 Xm Vsx 2.1 Td Silver Estate RP 7548

If it helps anyone I fitted a set of Osram Night Breaker lamps the other week and they've made a real difference - hardly HID levels of illumination but I'm no longer hankering after the upgrade.

Thanks again, Jan - that all looks relatively straightforward. Now that mine's back, I've just had a look behind the sidelights to see where the bolt heads are there. Presumably whatever I need to remove behind the 'bar' in the grille is behind the two plastic covers. Will have a go over the Christmas break I think.

Hi Keith,
We've been threatening to meet up for some time. When you get your lights (I assume you're ordering 4300s from Hong Kong) why don't you take a run down here and we'll fit them together? I've now done three sets. Bring your wife for the ride, she can chat to my missus whilst we're working. Derek -------------------- 1999 3.0V624v Exclusive Black! (RP8362)

Hi Derek
Yes, that'd be great - would be excellent to have some guidance through it, from someone who's done it before. Yes, ordering 4300s, just for the dipped beam, and I believe they're coming via HK. Will keep you updated as per their arrival. I ordered some white LEDs to try in the sidelights (as per a member's earlier post (can't remember who off hand)) so I'll see how they go too.

Strange that they both failed together. Sounds as if it's the supply to/from the switch or the relay.

Hi David,
Did you find out what caused your headlamps to fail? -------------------- 1999 3.0V624v Exclusive Black! (RP8362)
