Looking at Supercheap or Repco, you are probably paying nearly 2x if you walk in the door and get them off the shelf. It's not a biggie to replace them (Pg179 handbook) in the headlamps but may be beyond your skill or confidence level but for a local garage it would be less than 30 mins (a guess). You might like to look at www.narva.com.au. H7? Pg234 handbook. Nu6:24? Took a punt you might recognise a blessing when you saw it. :)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....ha ha...thank you for explaining. Have sent you a message.
Re the globes, I shall look up the handbook and see if I can feel the fear and do it anyway lol. I guess if I am careful then how much can go wrong (famous last words....).
Ok, nearing overwhelm with number of variables.
Surely those different globes are not identical are they? I mean why would the company differentiate them with specific sounding names? How do others decide which to select I wonder?
Do they come in warm and cool lights? I know for indoor lighting I detest cool lights as they make everything look so cold and clinical or is it better to have cool head lights?
Ok so I looked at the bulbs that you and Vee_Que are kindly recommending. It seems there are two in a pack so I need only one pack, correct? Should I be changing the low beams too if the high are so pathetic?
I've a friend in Clunes who knows about cars though not Volvos. Having said that, I fear asking a friend to help me. It's been my experience that occasionally men, present company excluded of course, struggle to say they don't know when they don't and I have had a few things broken as a result. At least if I do it myself, I'll be gentle, won't force anything have no trouble admitting ignorance.
