Cup headlight bulb type?

[Pistachio]

I'm replacing my 182's xenons with halogen units and I thought both bulbs were H7 but there is a metal plate stopping the full beam H7 from going in. There is also only one connecting cable. Can anyone confirm if this is an H1 bulb? The dipped side is an H7.

Undo that spring clip and the metal bit should come away

Although I'd be checking whether there is parts of a headlight bulb inside your headlight 😂

The plate only comes off if I undo the two phillips screws. And then I'm left with no way to hold the bulb in

Aye

Have you tried using a H1 like that headlight takes?🤣

 

[Pistachio]

I don't have one! lol that's why I wanted to check. Anyway they are fitted now so I'm off to Halfords to try an H1 😄

 

[Krarl]

Yeah theyre H1🤣 I thought you'd tried jamming a H7 in there🤣

Chuck some nightbreakers in there. They work a treat and don't have that horrible dull yellowish glow.

Too late, I got some GE long life bulbs. I quite like the yellow on black look. And they are H1 😄
