But of course, having driven 50 miles to Tayport for Chris to fit them (changing headlight bulbs without whipping off the bumper and taking out the lights is for long, snake-armed individual contortionists only..), they were the wrong ones - of course, I needed H9 bulbs! Grrr!
I emailed powerbulbs.com and told them their information was wrong. They blamed Osram, who apparently supply them with their fitment information. Curious that they only have one legal type of H9 halogens for sale - PIAA ones at £33! They still have not changed the site information.
So - don't be fooled like me!
