Off to Holland at end of May, so peparing a bulb kit.

Front:

• Fog H1 55w

Main H7 55w
Dip H1 55w
Turn 21w amber angled pins
Park W5w
[/list]

Rear:

• Fog 21w level pins

Rev 21w level pins
Turn 21w amber angled pins
Stop/tail 21/5w offset pins
Tail 5w level pins (small glass bulb)
[/list]

Does the list above look corect?

I feel daft asking, but I can't see how to release the main beam bulb (have removed the ruber cover etc)   How do I do it?

Cheers

its got a spring clip,squeeze the priongs to unclip, thenthe clip will hinge down out of way

[Dave DND]

Don`t forget that as well as the bulb kit, you also need the hazard warning triangle.

And not sure if common knowledge yet, but many Euro countries are now insisting on carrying high vis jackets as well

[mc9]

Yes, I have a warning triangle and high viz jackets.

I discoverd how to adjust the headlamps for European driving without masking (p121 of handbook).

I can't feel the springclip described by TheBoy (very similar to the usual H4 clip, I assume).

I don't understand the instructions on page 189 of the handbook describing main beam bulb replacement. Can anyone clarify?

Cheers

HI, I used to live in germany and being a Truck driver (Class1) was all over europe. Just a couple of points for you as the police love foreign drivers, ( for there money robbing barstuhles) By Law you must have a warning triangle ( to be placed behind you on the Side of the road at 80 meters and motorway at 150 meters ) in case of an accedent or breakdown.  A Unused Firs aid kit ( up to date when possible still in origional covering) also the foil blanket.  dont forget in Europe it is Illegal to pass the scene of an accedent without stopping and offering help. also holland speed limit is 120 kmh about 78 mph. Lights if defective must be repaired a.s.p.. ps have fun over in europe and watch out for the cops the take speed photos from behind in Holland.

Dont forget to ride at the other side of the road

And you also get photographed if your not wearing saetbelts

Enjoy your stay in Holland
