.....
According to the handbook (page 121), it’s easy to change them from left dip to right dip, when I go abroad. Hmmm!  I can’t see any levers, does that not apply to HID lights? ......
Easy?!  :o Driver's side is but the passenger side needs the hands of a small child to reach the back of the lamp. I found it impossible with normal size hands without moving the battery.

Be wary of those though...ive heard of unscrupulous rogues (read 'Scumbags') buying Amber bulbs in bulk and spraying them with mirrior tint spray, which isnt heat resistent, and thus flakes off in no time...their disclaimer is that they make no guarantee about the bulb life.


I saw the Silvatec' bulbs at Halfords today - and the box does say 'Bulb life or Silvatec effect not guaranteed'. So I guess they probably do peel-off after a while... :(
