xenons?

Unread post by shoogiesco »

Hi
I have a headlight bulb out and I'm not sure if i have xenon's or not. Is there a sure fire way to find out what I have? I have searched a lot and getting conflicting answers :(

It should be obvious, but if you post up your VIN I'll tell you, as you haven't told us what car you have and the crystal ball is fresh out of crystals!

No worries - easily done! I've checked your car and you have the standard Halogen bulbs on yours.

I have the Bi-directional Xenons on my C5 as seen below - you can see the distinctive projector lens in the middle of the headlamp cluster and the weird looking inner one is the side light, with the angular lighting on the outside.

I'm just about to post up your lighting cluster, so you can see which bulbs are what...

ok, so this is your lamp cluster.
No.10 is the H1 Headlight Lamp
No11 is the H7 Headlight Lamp and also another H7 is used for your Angular lighting on the outside.
