Progress thread : White Astra 2.0 Cdti Sri vx line

[sheppy1]

So this weekend I decided to fit some new philips h7 bulbs to see if it improved the headlights. I. E. Dipped and main beam. 30 quid off ebay for 2 sets.

They are definitely whiter and a bit brighter compared to the standard ones.

Let's hope that they last as long as the standard ones.

While I was messing around with the headlights, I decided to enhance the drls by way of Halfords 580 pure white bulbs. What a disaster.

As per someone on the forums advise, I bent the wire connectors over for a tighter fit in the bulb socket.

Got the one on the right hand side working. Looked great. I then fitted the left hand side one. The bulb didn't come on and I got a canbus error so decided to remove the bulb again. As I was removing it from the socket, it fell into the headlight. FFS. I wasn't about to remove the bumper and headlight so I just put the normal one back in. Halfords only had 1 set for sale.

Anyway I drove around for a day with 1 yellow and 1 white drl which played on my ocd so decided I would have to remove the white one and put the standard bulb back in. Somehow I managed to loose the other white bulb down a crevasse in the body work so I now have 2 white drls rolling around in the engine bay. Never again.

Hahahahaha I'm sorry mate I shouldn't laugh but that really made me smile. I feel bad for you though... I dropped a pen knife into my engine bay once and it wound me up so much that I spent about 2 hours trying to find it lol
