Very subtle........ }{

P.S I agree LIDL can be quite reasonable on some things []

When I first bought the Scorp I wasn't particulary impressed with the amount of light being emitted from the headlamps so I changed the bulbs to xenon gas filled ones - what a difference - shall never buy an ordinary one again. :o

I bought them from a local (dare I say) Vauxhall dealer as they were quite reasonably priced compaired to the likes of Halfords at the time.
They are now are priced at £8.54 inc. vat each - Part no. 91126412

What's the wattage on them ?

I tried Japanese import Xenon Sooper Dooper 5000K ( whatever that is ) 55 watters on E-Bay and found they were no better than the bog standard ones that were already fitted.

hey

the 5000k is the colour temp, all it means is they will have a very slight blue tint to them, no effect on output/wattage ;)

btw sry to steal the topic here but how do u get the sidelights out of the cossie? ive tried pulling the little housing but it doesnt budge :( do u have to take the glass lense off or something?

Hi, I replaced all my bulbs the other day on my 2.3 and the sidelight bulbs do pull out of the back but need a good pull. I found them difficult to grip being so small and with the headlight in situ but they do just pull out.
