The new bulbs arrived today so I fitted them.....what a job. But done with care  Thumbs Up!

Any idea why they do not strike up as soon as I turn the switch. I have to wait a minute or two before they will strike.

The old ones struck immediately on the switch albeit one had gone purple  Roll Eyes

They are unbranded off the bay of e  Grin

After they have struck and I turn them off then on again they come on immediately. It seems to be they take their own time after the car has been switched off for 15 minutes  Huh

I give up with the things. I put the one remaining original bulb in each side and it fired up beautifully  Angry

I have bitten the bullet and bought some Phillips DS2's from HIDS4U, paid £57.94 for the pair  Thumbs Up! Thumbs Up!

Will be sneaking around with only the o/s light working. Wish me luck  Grin Grin
