Just replacing the d2 xenon bulb which was fiddly but OK, now I've got to replace main beam h7 bulb, I had a look where its meant to be it looks like there is 2 torx head screws holding a bulb holder, is that correct? I've got too remove the near side headlight anyway as it's damaged ( thanks to a hit and run driver

) just ran out of time and also no where to work on the car safely this weekend, other than on the road.
Also looking for a near side xenon headlight if anyone knows of a good car spares (used not new)

The E86 factory xenon headlights have one D2S bulb that does main and dip, there's a shutter that moves to produce the dipped beam.

The other bulb is the angel eye sidelight.

Plus the H7 bulb for flashing

So there is just the two bulbs. And there is no h7? . At the moment I need an ignitor for the n/s so that's discounted while I wait for delivery from amazon. I am sure it will all add up once I remove the headlight. But that h7 bulb has got me is there one there or not

Euro car parts said there was a h7 bulb in there I should have known better!
