Bloody sealed beam headlights...

[NiceCupOfTea]

Always wondered what I'd do when one blew...

Is the best alternative to order a pair of the MX5parts ones which you can change bulbs in?

Cool will order a pair tomorrow (when I've double checked that mine are in fact sealed beam and have not already been replaced!)

Thanks kinky!

How can I tell if they're sealed beam or not without taking them out? Want to get them ordered now...

The lenses are branded "Wagner"

No problem!

Just that I have a headlamp out until MX5parts deliver on Tuesday!

Thanks K - that's a great offer, but to be honest the only time I have to use the car after dark is Tuesday evening over the next few days so hopefully it won't be too much of an issue. I'm in Bromley so it's a bit of a trek.

Thanks anyway!

The way my luck is running at the moment I'll probably manage to throw them on the ground before I get them anywhere near the car though

As Kinky said - dead easy! Less than half an hour in the dark

Be careful with the screws though, they WILL be rusted up, so be careful undoing them. In fact, worth letting some WD40 penetrate in first.

Had a quick drive in the dark (albeit on streetlit roads) and they seem a lot better!
