Search has failed me! Can anyone tell me what the main beam bulb model is?

Had them out and it's not an H7! Want to get some night breakers for it.
 
Scott if you mean your normal driving beam and not high beam its H1
I also think high beam is also H1 as well just like the 7th gen

Im sure there H1 but just take one out as there easy not like the dipped beam.It will say on the body of the lamp what type they are just to make sure.
 
would H1 hids be just plug and play or is there some modding to do ??
 
Plug and play I would say.
TBO there is not much point doing your high beam as you very rarely use the.

Adam yes the H1 for the 8th gen are just plug and play the same as the 7th gen.
The only problem as why i haven't fitted them is getting to the bulbs themselves.
The easiest way is to take the bumper off and remove the headlights :(
My grill is a genuine sports grill brought and fitted by HH but there not cheap around £400.
PS if you have the lane ***istance feature on your car then this grill will not fit as it gets in the way of the sensor.
 
ok thanks for the info i really like the grill you have i also like the GT tourer grill which is gold chrome as for takin the bumper of i did mine after only 3 days of havin the car really easy to do i did it whilst it was raining lol

Nice one Adam did you take the lights out to get to the bulbs.
 
yes mate removed head lights cant belive how easy they are to do even the hid packs sit under the head lights out the way
 
Nice one Adam i might do this myself is it easy to get the bumper off.
 
you would be suprised how easy it is clips across the top a screw on each side of wheel arch and more clips across the bottom put a cover on the floor saves markin your bumper and then pull on the sides near the wheel arch till it pops out unplug fogs and parkin sensors if fitted.head lights have 4 bolts each. 2 on top 1 on side and 1 on front unplug all the plugs think about 5 then fit hids then build it back up

Very easy mate nothing like the normal beam a 5 min job.
 
Even easer Scote it's near the main beam bulb in the same part of the light cluster.
