Technical woo hoo a record (for me)

It only took me 10 minutes to change the passenger dipped beam bulb - you know the one, it that hides behind the washer fluid and required triple jointed baby sized hand

To be honest 5 minutes of that was getting the cacking lead off the bulb :bang:

Still I can say that as each time I change it the time taken does fall don't you just love the long lasting nightbreakers ? :bang:

funny that, my drivers side has just gone....gonna order a new set next week....pesky nightbreakers

 

[udtrev]

If the driver's side has gone be prepared for the passenger side to match it.

Apparently the new 'Plus' nightbreakers are supposed to last longer, I'll be grabbing a pair shortly.

still at least the driver's side won't take long

What a coincidence I changed mine last night. Did it in about 10 mins aswell. Hardest bit was seating the bulb correctly.

It was the original bulb I was replacing and I went for Philips +50% , those Osram I found were terrible longevity wise in my Alfa, and if you think the Bravo is hard to get to you want to try my Alfa

You know part of the washer fluid bottle is removable for easier access, don't you?

Yep,

Otherwise Bravo owners would need to practice self origami to get their hands in there

I dread the day one of mine goes!

Not looking forward to £150 for the replacements

I put in brand new Osram bulbs in my Bravio when I bought it last christmas.
Took a maximum of 5 min. to change both sides...
You should all be glad you don't have a Stilo.
I had one and it's a nightmare to change bulbs. Mine was a 1,9 16V Multijet, and to change the left hand side bulbs, I needed to take out the battery or remove the wheel and take of the bumber...
Compared to this the Bravo is a breeze (only the Panda is easier, in that it takes about 30 sec. to change both sides).

And then 2 hours to replace the lamp cover

I put 50% Philips ones in mine yesterday. I found the washer bottle side easier than the drivers side
