hunid-brake Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 im not 100% on this but i think thats a pretty good price for them to get it and do all the work. changing a xenon isnt like changing a standard halogen bulb, there is a large amount of electricity running to them to power them up and to save you all the hassle 104 seems pretty good.

Defcon5 Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 £55 to fit a bulb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunid-brake Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I didn't think it was as straight forward as just changing a bulb. If you read everyone else that got em from matey for 45 they didn't fit it themselves it's quite tricky. I would have thought to save you all the hassle and you will get some sort of warranty with the work, ooooh and VW will clean your car for you too lol, have a rally sesh down a muddy track and get ya moneys worth lol. Like I said I'm not 100% and clearly know nothing. I'm a mug and would pay just to save hastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 £55 to fit a bulb?Have you tried changing one yourself?Not exactly much room in there - my hand got cut & scratched to high heaven when I was trying to sort out my indicator and I've only got little hands.(IIRC, you need to take the bumper off to be able to replace the bulb anyway?)
