Re: Headlight Bulb Replace - 2002 2.2i

I appreciate the help so far chaps........................... :)

I had a casual look between the Air Box and the rear of the Light Cluster but it was
turning a bit low light and I came to no solid conclusion to my dilemma.

Must get to the absolute bottom of this one.

Headlight Bulb Replace - 2002 2.2i

Hi Just bought a couple of Dipped Headlight Bulbs from Halfords ( BOGOF). Claim to be 90% brighter which will hopefully improve on the one's currently in there. Hit a bit of a snag as in the Air Intake that wraps around the rear of the nearside cluster. (2002 2.2i) So I am guessing the headlight has...

It may need more than one application of Cap Toll as it needs to build up on itself. Run a bead of silicon along the inside edge where Cap Toll is coming through, this will aid in the building and setting process. Do not just rely on the silicon to hold the water back.
