With what, I asked, because I've got these superdoop etc...

Oh, just a normal bulb as specified in the manual, was the reply.

Problem is, I can't tell which one was replaced. Mind you, I did buy the Osrams on Ebay................

Just had both dipped bulbs replaced (one went and I thought the other one could not be far behind) and the difference in light outout is amazing, I thought the beam adjusters had gone wrong cos the reach of the beam has improved so much:lol: .

I did not specify any particular bulb to the dealer (an X Part service centre) and the invoice mentions GLB 499.

Sounds a bit like Unipart to me. Any one know ??
