Oh yeah, do not remove the bulbs from those plastic containers! Or if you do, do not touch the glass or the insulation bit - just avoid making contact with them, you will ruin the bulb. Touch it, the bulb will last no more than a week - the oils in your fingerprint burn, which in turn burns the glass, the gas leaks out, no more light.


Balls I think I was tempted and touched one of the bulbs in mine... Not like I'm fitting them anytime soon but looks like I'll invest in a few spares!

And Daz they're looking good mate :D

This is the same for halogen bulbs too...

clean the bulb to remove the contaminant...you'll be fine as long as you haven't used it ;)

What he said :lol: what would you use to clean it Marc? Alcohol would remove it best but probably not a good idea seeing as it's flammable :lol:

Alcohol is fine - it'll flash off long before you fit it and turn it on ;)

Seeing as ive been unable to compound the motor today due to inclement weather I popped over to Halfords to buy some Silvatech bulbs.

No pics as the front end is a mess and the lenses are chipped and scratched due to the amount of miles shes done :(

Not a difficult job, just fiddly. Had the units in a bowl of HOT water for a fair while, the glue sets like concrete!!

I like how you can just about see the little JAE sticker ;)

I think you should invest in some wheel spacers...
