Which bulbs?
Going to attempt to de- tango the headlights tomorrow. Absolutely cra ng myself but think the D3 will look all the better for it. I fancy putting in the chrome repeater bulbs after. Does anyone know what this bulb is ie part number etc.
Thanks in anticipation.He doesn't ask for much........But gives a lot.

Saw the how to - no real tips, I baked the lights at around 80 degrees for 7 mins.
The first one came apart pretty easily - need to be almost too hot to touch for the glue to unstick.
Second light unit needed two visits to the oven as it had more black glue on it.
Other than that it was ok - about an hour all in for both
Good luck

Just changed all the chrome/silver bulbs on my daughter's car for 'real' bulbs. The fancy chrome ones were awful. Either too dim, too bright or kept blowing.
I also prefer the orange headlights. You guys are gonna be busier than a test bench in a plunger factory!

Well just completed said task. I bottled put them in the oven and used the hair drier method instead. Think i might owe SWMBO a new one
Fairly straight forward to be honest. Disco looks a lot better for it, especially with the grill.
Top forum as ever.. Thanks guys He doesn't ask for much........But gives a lot.
