Headlight bulb

Hi all.

Just had a headlight bulb blow on my ZT-T CDTI it has projector headlights.

I got the idea on how to replace it but the handbook says for projector headlights I should use H7 Blue Vision bulbs

I'm assuming Sainsburys won't sell them so can I fit a normal H7 bulb?

Quick response would be great as I need to go out to pick my daughter up soon.

Thanks in advance

I would suggest any H7 bulb will improve things initially, and you will be able to check what comes out. This may be a case of there being odd bulbs fitted in the first place, so for me, I would get just a normal one and see how it goes.

Good luck.

That's what I was hoping.

Thanks

This is the projector/dipped lamp. The usual H7 bulb recommendation is the Philips Xtreme or Osram Nightbreaker - or whatever the latest versions are. Altenatively, consider a HID conversion kit if you need more light.
