Hey,

Getting a bit sick of my stock yellow headlights, wouldn't mind something brighter and more white or white/blue colour.

I heard that 'Philips Ultra Vision' are great buys? Only problem is that:

a) I can't find a store that sells them.
b) How do you change the headlight bulbs on your car? ( Is it as easy as unscrewing them with the bonnet up, and then twisting the bulbs out?)

If you can help me out that'd be much appreciated!

Cheers

Matt

Open the bonnet, look at the back of the headlight you'll see a grey round cover, it says open and close on it with arrows to suit, turn the cover in the direction that says open, disconnect the plug on the globe, then theres like a wire clip that holds the globe in, unhook the clip and pull the globe straight out. when installing new globe do NOT touch the glass bit, this will cause them to blow, also do one globe at a time as they do go in a certain way, goodluck
