Hi guys, need your help !
I'm not a mechanic at all, but want to fix my car myself for once ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Driver side High beam is not working. All rest is fine. What could it be? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) They are sealed beam lamps, so i presume the high and normal driving bulbs are inside, and you can not open it? So need to replace it with a complete new light? Fuses are ok. Removed the plastic cover and chrome ring. There is only one big plug connected. What is the small white wire for? I have read about replacing them by H4's . Is this just plug and play? Thanks for the help ! Cedric Attached thumbnail(s) |

The H4 housing upgrade is a perfect time to upgrade to LED bulbs as well! Brighter, whiter light, and less pull on the electrical system.

So the H4 setup is just with the same plug? |

LED is not allowed to pass the technical control here in Belgium. I've known guys to change items on their cars (very wide rims and tires hanging outside the fenders and really loud or no mufflers) to stock items just to pass inspection. After the inspection, put the fun stuff back on. |
