|
|
I have a Santana Samurai with the original CE (H2?) type headlights. They are really weedy and will definitely NOT DO when commuting in the dark (only a month or so away, I get up early in the morning).
Has anyone done upgrades and what would you recommend. I suspect light bars are out as I've never seen any and are therefore likely to fall foul of Spanish C&U regs. |

Morning, yeah there is a halogen bulb that's a straight swap. I went into a motor factors looking for a replacement standard bulb (after a 40 mile trip in the dark and the rain with only one headlight ) and the guy said "why don't you get these instead....?" Much better and they were only £2.99 each. Will have a look if I can find a part number when I get home (I've still got an empty box in the garage I think). _________________

I've been hunting around for decent CE type replacement bulbs for a while now with no success. I also own a Citroen C15 van which takes the same type bulb, and the so-called halogens available here are not a great improvement.
Is it possible to find a replacement for the whole lamp assembly (like what I did with the '67 Mini I once had)?
I've also noticed that the front bull bar has brackets for lamps. Anyone fitted aftermarket lamps to these? Any problems to watch out for? |

I've just been reading about the bulbs in our Grand Vitara today as it goes and I'm wondering, when they blow if I can change them myself or not.
It has the D2S lamps in and according to the hand book its a trip to the dealer when they blow. I've seen the lamps on the net at around £40 each. |
