My dips are fine, it's the mains that were crap! The Philips bulbs have sorted that out.

Might give then a go... I'm guessing during them would be begins me

Reverse lights aren't brilliant. I usually reverse with my foot on the brake just enough to put the brake lights on but not activate the brakes. Seems to illuminate the camera nicely enough to see what's going on .

Autocomplete nonsense! I meant they would be beyond my ability tofit...

Interesting idea, RSVR... Think I'll try the LED

It's a piece of cake fitting the reversing light bulb.

Just lever off the access cover on the tailgate inner trim panel and then remove bulb in it's holder - twist anticlockwise about eighth of a turn. Then remove old bulb and replace with new one. Put back but just check the correct position of the holder (it'll only go in one way). It will take all of five minutes!

Thanks for that, Dave - will do.My weirdly typo laden message before was referring to new main beam bulbs - are they hard to fit? most cars are, in my experience

 

[dave1978]

Main beam bulbs are a nightmare!

My dealer fitted mine free of charge at the first service. His fitter removed the lighting units as the quickest way to get the job done. Well worth paying (a little) to get the job done right. End result is well worth it though, the mains are now much improved.

Thanks - I'll get it sorted at the first service - even though the dark nights will have gone by then...
