Hi all

My '04 Elise has had one of the dip beam bulbs go. I've done some investigation and I can find 'how to' guides on how to actually change it, and I have found out from my manual and other resources that actual bulb I need (a 55w H1), however, I can't find any discussions of WHAT bulb...i.e. what make, where to buy from etc.

Just wondered if anybody had any experience here? Like I say I have looked but apologies if this has been done before!

Thanks
Tony

Where DO you find these websites from, Rene...!!!???

That's excellent, thanks - the site looks very good. I can't seem to find info on individual bulbs but a bloody good site nevertheless and one that has just been well and truly added to my favourites

How much for dipped beam S2 lights?!?!!? £50??? If they're worth it I have no problems at all paying htat, it's just that it seems a little OTT for bulbs?

Tony,
The best place I have found for bulbs is www.powerbulbs.co.uk/ - good value and very fast service with free delivery (they always turned up next day on the three times I have used them).
You can also get a PH discount of 10% using this code: HFAKF330.

Fantastic Christian, thanks! I've just ordered some Philips ones. They'll be as crap as the current ones, of that I have no doubt, but all I wanted was a decent replacement because I have one that blew so I'm winking at everyone at the moment

Thanks again
Tony

(oh, and saved myself 10% )
