Hi, I recently tried to get the well known high street store to fit lamp upgrades, although they said it was too difficult to access to remove the stock lamps. Can you give me an idea of what to remove etc to enable me to attempt the upgrade myself!!
Cheers
Fairly simple to do ... it only took me about an hour to do both sides and I'm not mechanically minded :)
Start off by removing the 3 plastic engine covers by popping off the plastic clips. Access to the drivers side light is probably made easier by removing the air filter box which should be held down by 2 10mm bolts, once the air filter box is out of the way just pop off the plastic cover for the dipped beam and the bulb can be twisted out ... Instructions with the HIDs should cover the required connections for the new bulbs.
Access to the passenger side light is slightly easier, you just have to remove the 10mm bolt holding in the plastic tube for the washer bottle and once the tube is bent out of the way you'll be able to get at the bulb cover.
A little patience is required when putting the new bulbs in as it is a bit fiddly !!
Finding a suitable place to put the ballast units is awkward as there isn't much spare space around the headlights but I managed to put mine next to the air filter box and one next to the fuse box, secured with velcro tape and cable ties (not very professional but it has done the job and they don't move at all)
Hope that helps ...
