EP3 Bulb confusion. Please help.

Messages

Good afternoon.

I have an FN2 Type R - 60 plate.

One of my dipped beam headlight bulbs has failed.

I read some posts and watched some videos and thought I had got all the information I needed.

I bought some on the Nighteye LED H7 bulbs, went to fit them today and it’s is all completely different so I’m very confused.

What you are confronted with when you take the cap off behind the light is completely different to what is described in everything I’ve read or watched. And even what is written in the owners manual. I will post some pics.

Thanks.

(Posting this on my phone and can’t seem to be able to change format of the pictures, so apologies for them being the wrong way round).

EDIT: Just realised my mistake. They are HIDs. What a donkey I am. Has anyone got any recommendations for replacement HID bulbs?

Hey Chris, as soon as I saw your post I guessed you had not realised they are HID, I fitted LED to my 08, but im sure there are others that can point you into the right direction :hide:
 
Chris, did you get anywhere with the replacement bulbs? Just bought FN2 and prev owner has fitted one halogen in place of HID so im looking at changing it obviously!

They are HID's, similar to or maybe even the same as the DC5 ones, I just binned about 10 as I have no use for them. From memory they are D2R Xenon HID Headlight bulbs you need you are reverting to HID again
