Hey guys, my right headlight and right break light have suddenly stopped working. I think i can work out how to change it over myself, unless someone advises me against it? However im wondering where do i get the bulbs from?

Location: Central Coast NSW Terrigal.

hey man,

Just find your local autobarn/supercheap and buy them from there. They offer everything from the standard globes to the "white" ones

if its both front and back at the same time it may not be as simple as blown bulbs, could be a short somewhere, although it may just be coinsidence

They diddnt go at the same time tho, the front head light isnt completely out either its just very dim. The back break light went out maybe a week after the front headlight started to dim out.

Went to Kmart Tyre and Auto. They want $38.50 to replace them. Something tells me it shouldn't be this expensive?

Woolies/Coles should also have the rear lights, and possibly standard headlight bulbs.

It's a bit hard to tell what you mean by the front lights; Could be that low-beam has blown, so just your parker light is showing? Have you tried turning on high-beam to see if that works?

A pair of half-decent replacement headlight bulbs should be between maybe $20 and $30, depending on what you get. You can get reasonable "white" bulbs for under $30.
Just take the bulb out, take it to your local car supplies place, and compare it to the ones on the shelf.
Stock-standard yellowish headlight bulbs could be as little as $10 for the pair.

As stated, could be more complicated than blown bulbs.

Last time i checked repco had some good ones.. i think they sell single bulb pack too

even at the least, i'd go for goodname headlight bulbs... bought Osrams for $8ea for TH

change both if yours are pretty old, they dim a lot with age

not hard job, just need tools to move the washer reservoir. i did mine in a restaurant carpark
whilst waiting for our friends to turnup for lunch, 10min job if you know what you have to do



taillight bulbs... the $2 AUSTA ones from Coles or KMart work fine.
They last as long as the $5 german ones i tried once.
