put these on hukd a couple of months ago.
worth buying if your calling in home bargains, still available, bought in Huddersfield yesterday.
their website is rubbish so doesn't have a link, much cheaper than buying a few bulbs from halfords.

Have you any idea how hard it is to change a simple bulb in a modern car?

I was going to mention my Volvo V50 is fantastic, all relatively accessible and all very easy to do. My wife's merc almost got a sledgehammer through the window when I tried to replace a bulb!!!
I'd encourage anyone considering buying a car to challenge the dealer to demonstrate how easy it is to change the bulb. If it's hard/impossible, it's by design and you can expect a very expensive experience living with that car.

Can't go drone for a few quid even if they are cheap. They can get you back in the road until you get a better quality.

replaced a couple of my headlight bulbs with these in June for the MOT as the old ones were discoloured, there still fine.

yes, some are, some are not.
friend of mines cars starter motor failed to work, in the handbook it said to change a fuse under the bonnet you had to take it to dealer, google, YouTube, couple of hours and a 10p fuse we got it sorted.

It gets faster with practice. My Volvo seems to eat headlight bulbs. I can now do the job in about 3 minutes. The first time was more like 20.

Makes you wonder why if manufacturers want you to buy their vehicles, do they sit down at the design stage and say let's make that bulb really hard to change because we can.

see my post above, to change a fuse the handbook says its a dealer job.
it would have been easy to put a access panel in to the fuse board but Renault in their wisdom made it so you have to remove so many bits including the battery and tray to get to the fuse.
