M13KYF Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 they're quite expensive if I remember correctly. Over 100 quid each and not sure if you have to change both sides at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 If you can wait get them from the states http://www.xtralights.com/index.asp?Cat ... n=VIEWCATS but I did just see on a google search for "D2R Bulb UK" a pair for £150 but they were non branded. I think the PIAA ones are about £300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Its cause the grease on your fingers "cooks" the glass and makes them hotter... Same on halogens that you use around the house, you should always try and use gloves or a clean cloth. Condensation wont help either. The standard ones in the zed have a filiment outside of the main bulb, the PIAA ones are an enclosed unit. I would take the lamp unit out, put it in an airing cupboard or warm place leaving exit hols free (I have heard that using a tampon just dangeling indside the lamp unit can help to soak up the moisture) for a few days and then reseal round the edges using a clear or black waterproof sealent so it dosnt happen again...

Zedrush Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 cheers 3fiddy will tell him to do that when he gets back, just to make sure that we are on the same lines, when I turn the lights on half way the correct lights come on, small ones but when I turn on full the big one with plastic case around it wont turn on...

Yep, on the stalk 1/2 a turn gets the parking lights (W5W), and then a full turn are the driving lights (D2R) and then if you push the stalk you get full beam lights (H7). So yep sounds like one of the D2R's has gone, If you dont know the bulb type and colour now, best to change both as it will look miss matched.
