Bulb replacement

· Posted: 01.12.2016 · #1

I have a bulb gone in one of the spotlights and I can't see any way of getting the blown bulb out
The bulb it self moves from side to side and I am afraid of damaging the whole thing if I force it
The van is an adria

We have an 08 Renault too, are they after market spots or is it the fog lamps in the bottom of the Bumper you are talking about?

There's probably a recess between the ring holding the glass and the main body of the lamp. You can get a flat screwdriver in and prise off the ring. It might take more pressure than you'd think/like!

AHHH!! I know this one

Black ring around the base of the bulb lense? I recently changed all mine for LED's. There is a split in the black plastic ring, push the glass up slightly and ease the ring out, I just used my nail.

When refitting, the fat/wide side of the ring goes in last (narrow first), which seems backwards. I broke the first one as I thought it was the other way around.

(yours might be different)

All my LED's come from LEDHUT. There is cheaper, sometimes a lot cheaper, but nothing has been as good as these.

LED

Usually a good few discounts which I try and post, but all the bulbs seem to be Lumilife - quoting wattage and what they are comparable too.

I usually let Halfords deal with the problem. A bulb including the fitment. Last time it was in upside down but the inspector gave me a chance to rectify it during the mot

They are always that, I replaced mine with 12V 1W. Huge difference. Some of my over head lights had 4 bulbs, so if one of them was on I have reduced them from 40W to 4W!
