Hey guys,

I'm a new member to the forum. I've had my X-Type for exactly one week and I love it.

But I have a question.

I just recently noticed the driver's side high beam light is out. My car's manual wasn't at the dealer on delivery (it is being mailed to my house) but I can't seem to find any information onlineon which light bulb to use to replace the burned out bulb. I didn't want to get any exotic bulb; I want all of the lights to match (I'm not sure if I will upgrade to a light kit at a later point but I want all of the lights to look the same even if I don't upgrade).

Can somebody please point me in the direction of the appropriate high beam bulb to match the existing bulbs in my X-Type (assuming all of the current light bulbs are original/matched the originals)? Brand name/number/etc.? Where to buy?

Thank you!

B

 

Hey Pysch...............check out the X type FAQ quick links in the X type section for all you want to know about bulbs, HIDS, Changing bulbs brands etc etc.

Good luck

OK, I just looked through and I think I found it. I went to Sylvania's website and see they have the H1-55W (for both high and low beam) and the H1 Silverstar (appears to be high beam only). Both are halogen.

Now I just have to decide between the two, lol!

 

Deciding which bulb will be the easy part! Getting your hand in there to change it,
then getting the clip back on the black plastic back cover of the headlight assembly
is the fun part! Especially on the dirvers side! Just frustrating and not a heck of
a lot of room to get your hands in there.

I would just get a regular 55w H1. They are only like $5. Although one Wal-Mart I went
to had them selling for $18,99!!! So watch the price!

 

I got the bulb and had someone replace the bulb for me.

Thank you for your assistance.
