Xenon Bulbs

Bought a set of Xenon bulbs off ebay and they arrived today. Is it a difficult job replacing the existong bulbs? I've never even looked at the cluster before... Should i bring it to a mechanic?

I suspect you mean Xenon look-a-likes with the blue tint.

Use the search option and you'll find enough posts on changing headlamp bulbs to keep you reading till midnight including plenty of horror stories and also good advice.

Personally I'd fit the +50% white halogens rather the blue tinted ones which aren't normally as bright.

Re: Xenon Bulbs

Nothing to fitting headlamp bulbs in the stilo, dont take any notice of anyone who says they are difficult to do, they just havent got 12 inch long, double jointed, 1/4 inch thick fingers, (12 on each hand).

(Walks away pissing myself that someones going to attempt this)

My advice, go to dealer, ask one of the techs if they could do them at dinner time, and bung them a tenner each, two techs, one lamp each and half hour for lunch and twenty quid well spent.
