Hya, this is probably going to be an unusually long post about changing a headlight bulb but hey, the A2 doesn't make it easy
First of all my driver side bulb has gone and needs replacing, last year i used '90% Osram H7 Night Breaker Plus Low Driving Headlight Bulb' and i am unhappy about the longevity of this bulb, but i do like its performance... could anyone recommend a good performing set of bulbs that will last a bit longer?
I tried and failed last year to replace the bulbs myself, how easy should it be to replace yourself and is it recommended? I'm also a little worried about the alignment being right on the dipped beam if i do it myself. Is there an easy to use guide anywhere?
Is it a good idea to try and replace the bulbs myself and then go to a garage to check alignment? That would be cheaper rather than a garage fitting them, although i did find it difficult to get at the bulbs myself, and i think even at a halfords garage they took some time getting at the bulb.
Thanks for any advise you can give me.
