A headlight (dipped beam) blew yesterday (not having much luck with them!). Can anyone of the top of ther head tell me please what fitting this is?

By the way, I'm looking at powerbulbs.co.uk. Anyone used these blue tint, xenon-esque blubs? Are they any good?

H7 - there's a search facility. Doh!

I dont think "Doh" was appropriate. The guy might not know this!!

Please show fellow members respect. Cheers

Urm - it was the guy that posted the original question Doubt he's offended himself :P

On the other question - I've had xenon-look bulbs and extra-bright white ones, in a few P205s, a R21, and our Rover 100.

Generally I'd say uprated bulbs are worth it for sure, although if you change them, do them in pairs, just in case

Youre right. Still hung over this morning !!

Get some Osram Silverstars you won't regret it Oh, and I ran some Philips Rallye 100W main beams in mine as these made driving the pitch black country lanes around here much safer

Since we're on bulbs, where is it possible to get uncoloured bulbs for the rear indicators? Oh, and also the front...

Hal-frauds are doing the extra-white 50% xenon filled jobs for £18 per pair. Powerbulbs are nearer £25. None left in Leamington so I forked out for a standard affair.

Very fiddly job innit, esp the headlight in front of the battery box!

I know there is a search facility and believe me I have used it but still not 100% sure on the answer to this question.

What bulbs are the main beam on a Fab vRS with Xenons?

Is it H7 or H1?????

H3

I thought it was H3 for vehilces without Xenons.

I have Xenons

Shouldn't it be the same? They are afterall just highbeam lights, which ain't Xenons...

O h I dunno. I took offence with meself, challenged me for a fight outside for which I duly accepted. I roughed meself up good and proper.

Off to venture down the M40 in this appalling weather now :thumbdwn:

The Xenon-Fabias use a different bulb to the non-Xenon one. No clue why either.

In the later manuals it's actually correct, there is an old thread in here somewhere that has the right bulbs etc.

As for the seperate question for the clear indicator bulbs - yep they do those too, same site

And @ Neil - stop offending yourself :P

One way to tell is to get those mitts diiiirty by getting the bleeder out of its noddy and looking at its bum.

Unfortunately, the Xenon-equipped Fabia is even tighter to change bulbs than the non-Xenon ones so it's quite an operation to just pull a bulb out!!! :( Have that first aid kid handy too!

As Chris says - very, very tight indeed & I could not be asked to do it myself for that exact reason

Is it tight, Sir? Is it, hmmm? Oooh Kenneth!
