Title: Gas discharge headlights/sidelights
Post by: netlon on 18 December 2010, 13:21:12
Hi there. My Omega has gas discharge headlamp units. Is the sidelight bulb an ordinary bulb and if so can it be replaced fairly easily? Sidelight bulb NOT main headlight. TIA

I've removed the battery and I can see it, i can touch it, but i can't change it. Any ideas which don't involve removing the whole cluster?
