I have just tried tried to replace bulbs in my Xantia using the handbook to tell me which bulbs i need (stated H7's) so went and got them tried to fit and looks like i actually needed H1's??
Does anyone know if i can actually still fit the H7's as I have heard its a better bulb anyway but can it actuall be used? There is a double fitting on the H7's but only the one on the H1's plus the hole isn't big enough to get the bulb in but i do have the option of unscrewing a part in the unit to get it in??! There does also seem to be a spare electrode that i could possible fit to the H7 actually attached to the light unit but doesn't look like it does much??
Am i being ridiculous? Please someone let me know, thanks.

Hi there,
Had exactly the same problem on my mk2 xantia a few weeks back! that was after checking by usin the registration number on a suppliers website, as well as checking the handbook!! just took h7,s back to shop i got them from and swapped them for h1,s. glad i didn,t get them off the web in the end (local motor factor had a two for one offer).
Strange indeed!! glad it wasn,t just me being thick though!!!
