Bulb upgrades?

[Colinlp]

How do you remove the original bulb? I can't seem to get the thing out

Twist it!! My hands are just too big, bit like the rest of me at present. I had to swap the polarity of the connections too

 

[PukkaT6]

Remove rubber cover, twist bulb holder and it should come out really easy.

 

[PukkaT6]

I also reversed polarity as did Pauly so dont worry about it.

I bet you have no canbus errors and love them, am I right?!

 

[Colinlp]

Yes once I got my hand in there it was easy, wasn't sure if it was a twist or a clip lock. works perfectly and looks good, well it would if the photo was better but then the same could be said of me!

 

[PukkaT6]

looking good mate. I now hate when the dipped lights take over ha

I think the others are a bit trickier to replace.

Received mine today, thanks for the recommendation @PukkaT6

Does anyone know why I only needed to reverse the wires on only one bulb. Do I need to worry? No errors thrown up though.

 

[Colinlp]

Probably just chance, mine was the same; the standard bulb is not fussy about polarity so it's just a case of connecting wires irrespective of which goes where

 

[PukkaT6]

Same here, however I emailed seller saying broke before Pauly came to my rescue hence the free set.

They look a million times better.

Thanks for the reassurance @PukkaT6 and @Colinlp

I've already upgraded the delightful H4 bulbs to the Phillips 150% bulbs still not great but just about adequate, just need to change the side light to an LED version, the little yellow light now looks awful.

Can't imagine how small your hands need to be to change it though

 

[PukkaT6]

But look how cute they are ha

These are from same seller on ebay just in case you wondered.

 

[LordGozer]

Just ordered them.

Now I need to borrow one of the children from nextdoor to utilise their small hands

 

[PukkaT6]

I need to order some LED fog lights @Pauly do you know what bulb they are and if they make an LED one?

Basically I dont like the yellow bulbs.

 

[Pauly]

Fog lights are a H11 lamp/fitment

You take it to Halfords lol! No seriously I looked and it looked a pain to do so paid Halfords to fit them. Could do the ones on my T5 but knew I was going to find this tricky so to save time took it there.
I really think that we need someone to do a tutorial video of this particular thing. I searched you tube and not one for T6.

They are hence my comment about taking it to Halfords. Issue I have with my headlights now is that some bits have now got in where the bulb was changed and are visible on the chrome reflectors so I think I am going to have to take them out myself at some point anyway as it's driving me crackers now I have seen it. No one else will see it just me lol!

 

[Buggirl]

The forum has a channel, those videos are on it, just unlisted ATM as wasnt sure best way forward, social media & youtube are quite new to me

I have just found this! @Pauly sorry looks like we may have our answer anyway lol! How could I miss this?!

@8balladdict what headlights you bought for yours and do you have a picture of how white then look?

Im thinking the phillips 150 but want to see how white they are.

 

[8balladdict]

That was before I changed the yellow fogs mind

 

[PukkaT6]

What headlights you got? Ie Phillips 150
