VXR8 headlights failing to come on :( ?

[Madmtnbiker]

Morning!

Started her up nice n early to head to the station and thought it's a bit dark outside!

No low or high beam coming on. Fog lamps work ok and the small courtesy lights next to the high/low beam unit.

I've tried searching but not seeing anything. Anyone experienced this before?

Thanks

Jeff 'in the dark'

Problem identified - one low beam bulb had blown causing the other to go too

Halfrauds visit required to replace both...now how to shrink my hands to get to the low beam next to the fuse box?!

Halfrauds will fit them for you if you ask. They normally have a youth working with suitability small hands and wrists.

Did mine yesterday when changing to HID's, best way is the jack car up and loosen the liner inside the wheel well, some say you can do it without taking the wheel off but I found it easier taking it off

Been discussed before, take wheel off and loosen arch liner, you can get to them that way.

Never scratched my hands at all changing mine

Had both my low beam bulbs replaced on mine a few weeks back by a local auto electrical specialist, for the extremely reasonable cost of £13.60 - no scratched hands at all on my part!
