SIDE LIGHT BULB

Post by deno 1 » Fri Apr 15, 2011 1:57 pm

Hi folks...... after my last visit to the stealership and getting stung i thought id run this past you guys. Got a warning saying check parking lights on the display by the speedo. so i have and when side lights are on, the nearside front one does not come on but the indicator lights up constantly???????????? the car is still under warranty but the stealers say bulbs aint included(not bothered) and a replacement side light bulb is needed and is £20+fitting+vat???????? this is because its a special bulb that comes in a special unit??????? just seems a lot for a bulb?????????

Are you talking about the angel eyes/halo lights? If so, have a look at this thread, you can DIY and if you like, upgrade to the LED type:
