Cheap lamps
This may sound obvious but if it saves someone else hassle it'll be worth
it. I bought some rather cheap bulbs from ebay for the 156. One failed within two hours of installation and the other emits so little light I had to drive home on the fogs. I have now purchased a set of Halfords Xenon which although expensive ( they had an offer, £24.90 each, buy one get one free. ) seem to be just the job. I know I can get quality bulbs on ebay but I needed them instantly or I won't get home from work tomorrow! TonyB |

I've seen the ESP additions and some other new parts to the test, but I missed a change in the headlight part of the MOT. |
