Red face 2002 Xtype 2.5 Headlamps

Hi guys need some help. My two inner headlights work but the passenger outer light is blown.

What bulbs do I need as I'm confused. I wanna replace the bulbs with a nice bright beam not the factory type.

Kris, do you have HID bulbs or the standard halogen bulbs (if you have HIDs, there is a silver sticker in the driver's door jam, if no sticker, then you have halogens). If you have HIDs, then you need to find some 35W HID bulbs of the D2S style. If you have standard halogen bulbs, then you need H1 style bulbs. Don't go with something that is above the 55W factory rating. This is going to lead to more problems than it is going to fix.

If you have any more questions, just ask.

H1 is the correct type, but you can buy the Ice White ones... they're nicer looking, and appear to be brighter. Be very careful when replacing the bulbs though... my headlight fell apart when I changed one, messing up the adjusters etc. So if you want to avoid buying a new headlight, be very gentle!!! - oh, you may also cut your knuckles due to lack of room!
