Cheers Char! Did you get your OSRAMs?

 

[char_baby]

Yeah i did, fitted them today, took about 2 mins! Haven't seen what they are like fully at night yet though.

Gave my old ones to my little brother, hes just got a seat leon, about 12 years old or something. The car not my brother lol. They seemed brighter on his than mine which was weird.

 

[VRSLOZ]

Hmmm that is weird! Glad you got them and fitted all ok make sure you take it out with them, I'm sure you'll be very pleasantly surprised

 

[char_baby]

I hope so, if not i'll be a little worried that something either isnt right with me or my lights.

I'll take it out tomorrow for a little ride.

 

[VRSLOZ]

Cool cool, make sure you get some pics and put them in your progress thread

 

[char_baby]

Will do lol.

Thanks mate

 

[tdi.tom]

looks really well debadged! been so tempted with mine but not had the balls incase it left an outline or something! what did you use to get it off?

 

[VRSLOZ]

I did it with a Tesco Clubcard and polish mate but would be good to heat up the badge slightly, this way it'll come off easier

Use tooth floss or fishing wire, works great

[VRSLOZ]

UPDATE :

Got a couple of packages in the post today, my trim tools :

and the new HB4 Ultra bulbs :

I set about changing them for the original (lovely yellow colour, YUCK!)

Took ages to get the grille off, after about 20 minutes I got there :

Simple twist turn removal :

OEM bulb :

New Ultra HB4 (9006) bulb :

Lit up for the first time :

Ultra on the left, OEM on the right :

And both finally fitted :

Want to thank my brother as he helped me change these and waited in the cold with me for about 40 minutes. So happy with the results, match my headlights

 

[tweedz]

looks really good! did you ever find out what the headlight bulbs were? char said the ABD ones were no good

 

[VRSLOZ]

I think they are Ultra too, im buying another set so will confirm

 

[tweedz]

i've ordered a set anyways at that price its worth a try, thanks
