changing headlamps

[bizzbozz]

Was about to change the headlamp bulbs to ones which actually light up the road (I know its late but Im bored), when I suddenly realised I dont have a jack or nut wrench/spannery-thing to take the wheel off. Am I not supposed to get one with the car?

Also, once I get a hold of the above equipment (this is prob going to sound really stupid) - where do I position the jack?

Many thanks for any advice you can offer....

There's no spare wheel so they don't provide a jack or wrench. God knows where the recommended jacking points are.

It is beyond belief how inept they can be!

I order the bulbs, size and type as indicated in the hand book. Take the wheel off, open up the compartment behind the headlamp, only to find Ive ordered the wrong size bulbs!! How can you get something as simple as a bulb type wrong in the handbook??!!! I am so peed off....
I should have known better and not opened the packet of bulbs I had ordered - which I now cant return.

So if there's anyone out there who needs some H7 55w phillips vision plus bulbs, please let me know!

H4 i believe for Tamora. Ive just done my Griff with Vision Plus and they are good. But then i have also rewired.

bizzbozz... I've come across this before with mainstream manufacturers... the print the handbook and change the spec during the build phases. (I've seen this with Ford's and Vauxhaul's)... best solution is to take the bulbs out, work out what you need, THEN order them.

Yep Podie, I realise that now! Will check the bulbs that have been fitted in future...

ecfs, H4 55w are the ones to get (basically the ones with three connectors coming out of the back). Ive re-ordered. Theyre waiting at the post office for me.
