[quote][i]Originally posted by nibnob21[/i] Changed my headlight bulbs today. I've been using SMD sidelights and my current headlights are very yellow, so the two together just looked crap. I'd read good things about the MTEC Cosmos Blue bulbs and they seemed cheap enough so I bought some of them and some matching sidelight bulbs. [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0484.jpg[/IMG] Link: [url=http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/mtec-12v-55w-cosmos-blue-hid-class-upgrade-bulbs-h1-h4-h7-h8-h9-h11-9005-9006/]MTEC 12v 55w Cosmos Blue HID Class upgrade bulbs H1, H4, H7, H8, H9, H11, 9005, 9006 - HIDS DIRECT LTD Store | HIDS Direct Ltd. for HID Xenon kits, Xenon bulbs, MTEC bulbs, LED's, Car Parts and Air Suspension[/url] 5% off with code 'SOCIAL5'. So I set about fitting them. I'll let the pictures do the talking: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0476.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0477.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0487.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0481.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0482.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0483.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0488.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0485.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0486.jpg[/IMG] Old one: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0490.jpg[/IMG] New one: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0491.jpg[/IMG] One new, one old: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0489.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0492.jpg[/IMG] Both new: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0493.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0494.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0495.jpg[/IMG] Then as shown in a previous post, one of my sidelights got smashed. Huge thanks to a local chap on MX5Nutz who kindly donated new sidelights :) Got them cleaned up, chucked them in the oven and detangoed them. [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0496.jpg[/IMG] And fitted on the car: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0497.jpg[/IMG] So glad to have it sorted again now. I've kept my old units and thrown away the lenses as I may attempt some DIY TSIs at some point in the future. This sort of thing: http://www.jassperformance.com/img/performance/slider2/s02_02_02.png One other thing that's bugged me since getting the car is the flocked surround I have on my CD player. I had quite a few flocked parts on my Corsa but it really doesn't suit this. So I spent far too much money on a tiny bit of plastic: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0498.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0499.jpg[/IMG] Then one final thing I've got to help prevent the leaks from returning is some of this stuff: [url=http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361112043052?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT]Einszett gummi pflege / rubber care stick - 100ml Car Care Rubber Seal | eBay[/url] As you can see it revives the tired rubber: [IMG]http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/nibnob21/Eunos%20Roadster/0500.jpg[/IMG] Much better for the rubbers than Vaseline. They're looking much healthier now.
