DRL Replacement - Snapped clips - Marc_81 - 3:rd-Aug-2020

Finally got round to replacing my DRL bulbs to some that are a bit more white. One issue.. i stupidly managed to snap the retaining clips on one side. The holder feels OK without them, and obviously the plastic cover is on the back. Am I likely to have any issues.. is this repairable at all??

On the plus side the Maruta (formerly MTEC) bulbs seem to fit OK and give off a nice white light. I have MTEC super white headlight bulbs which I've always found to be good. Plus they were a lot cheaper than PIAA bulbs.

CheersĀ 

Marc

If the bulbs holding and the cap is on you should be fine.

In terms of replacement you would need to get a light from the scrap yard.
