Halo bulbs

Post by Fireball » Sun Jun 06, 2021 8:36 pm

Whilst out for a drive this afternoon a warning light appeared on dash to say external light bulb failed, a quick look around car revealed both nearside halo rings were not lit. A couple of questions if I can please.
Firstly am I correct in assuming that one bulb does both halos on each side ?
Looking at euro car parts an H8 bulb is the one needed, but for almost the same price I can go to led’s with the required resistors. Any advice on where to get a good set of the led replacements that won’t throw up a fault code ?

It looks like a 5 minute job if the you tube video is correct.

Thankyou

Yep one bulb does both halo in one headlight. Take a look at this recent thread for a couple of good LED options:
