Headlamp bulb Type on Facelift
Hi there,
Could anyone confirm if the headlamp bulbs on a 2000 model year bongo are H4?
Need to get some better bulbs as the current ones aren't much use !!
Thanks.
Andy

Hi,
Haven't done mine yet due to bulbs not arriving but on most cars and from what I saw when I looked:
Remove the electrical plug connector by carefully pulling off.
Remove the dark grey rubber (about 4 inches diameter) that covers the bulb and back of headlight.
Metal spring clip holds the bulb in. normally you press two bits inwards to release from some retaining clips, then this folds to release the bulb.
Carefully remove the bulb and replace with the new one, ensuring the locating lugs fit properly (do not touch the glass part of the bulb - if you do clean off with meths or something similar).
Refit in the reverse order.
I'll let you know more if you like when I get round to doing mine.

Thanks Andy, you are a star.
I know so little about the nuts and bolts of the vehicle I drive, I really should not be allowed out on the road!
