Ah, Sepang and ///M power. Fond, yet very fleeting memories.
You're going to have a lot of fun in that car, Jem.

...and so the slippery slope begins...

- New Osram Xenarc Xenon candles (improvement but LED bulbs on my other ride are in a different league)
- Cruise control fitted by SRHUTCH last night. Thanks bro, it’s a lifesaver
- in-flight planning:
1. Search for Bilstens & Eibachs
2. Wheel refurb
3. Bluetooth
4. Dashcam & Sat Nav hardwire
5. Tyre pressure testing - door card says 2.3 (33psi) front & 2.5 (36psi) rear, yet seen some posts for 32 front, 30 rear which am presently running but not happy

Maybe the 20% ers will be 20 inches apart if you can make the 9th Sept

Which model bulbs ( DS 1, DS 2 , DS 3 ? ) & were they a simple straight swap ?

I ordered & fitted D2S night breakers - the eBay seller link now comes up as unavailable.

Things to be aware of:
- work in good light from wheel arch panel, it’s a tiny hole & with the bonnet open gives extra light
- obviously disconnect the battery
- most importantly, when replacing the high voltage ballast, there’s a black rotational collar. The first one went on like a dream, I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out why the other side just wouldn’t go on. Somehow the grooves in the collar had got mis-aligned on the Ballast, first attempt after realigning slipped on & locked

Good luck

I got the same bulbs for mine when I got it. Took me f***ing ages to change them, just couldn’t figure it out. I did not disconnect the battery... am I lucky I didn’t die ?

I don’t think so, I wouldn’t disconnect the battery either.

Liken it to whether worthwhile taking Malaria tablets if you visit certain parts of Africa... you can always take the risk
