Hi guys
silly question, in 11 years of ownership ive yet to replace a MAINBEAM bulb, not head light done 100s of them.
Could someone tell me what bulb it is so i can just whip them out and replace without having to do the usual get them out re assemble then pull apart again when i have the bulb.
Euros are only listing H7, so im thinking it maybe the same bulb as the the headlights.
many thanks
roy

They're H1 and dipped are H7 iirc.

Or if dipped are H1 then mains are H7. I only changed the NS dipped on our Stilo last night and iirc that was H7, so the main should be H1.

I'm 95% certain anyway.

so to get this 100% correct, the lights you flash are h1 and the ones you use everyday are h7?
thanks for that, ive not changed a bulb in a year since i put in the long life bulbs (best thing i done as i was blowing them every 3 months - mostly night driving).

Edit, just ordered a pair of osrams long lifes for £8.28 on amazon, that should see the car out...
now i just have to remove the bumper to get them out, never done that before....

Main beams should be possible in place as they're in the centre where there is easier access

yeah i would but ive got a failed motor as well on the passinger side so it needs to be changed, thus bumper off

Is possible to do through passenger side wheel arch if you not fancy the rusty bolt routine that hold the bumper on..do not exactly have small paws myself and have managed to replace headlight motor this way leaving battery and tray in place, .two pozi screws hold motor in place, then bit of a tug to pull out of plastic lug in light housing.

I took the battery out on my JTD and modified the battery box

just finished the job, bumper off, replaced bottom diffuser.
Replaced the sidelights with LED bulbs, main beam and fog lights with osrams longlife (i replaced headlights last year with these and they have been fantastic), and indicators with standard orange bulbs.
and most off all replaced both adjuster motors, one was stuck in so that explained why my beam was always pointing to the ground.
Im impressed with the LED sidelights, there is a slight blue tinge but they look cool (bit like the car did when new). i also replaced the number plate bulbs with LEDs - i should have done this years ago.
