Try fitting some decent bulbs - Philips or Osram only.
Manufacturers usually fir Longlife bulbs, denoted by 'LL' on the flange. These sacrifice brightness for extened life, so saving on warranty claims. Forget about higher-wattage bulbs, as these seldom control the beam properly, and generate lots of glare for oncoming drivers. They also impose additional loads on the switchgear and cables. I once tried Halfords 100/130 bulbs in my Golf GTi, but found that a 70 watt Philips Blue Vision type gave better lighting. |

A Z3 is not just for Christmas - it's for life!
