HELP Please Light Experts !

[gazcaz]

Its for my uncles car VW Tiguina 2011 .Okay it orig had Xenons he asked for Halogens so they fitted H7 bulb ,but he was complaining about the beam alignment. i checked today and its all over the place and the H7 does not fit what is in his Car.

Have attached a picture for someone to hopefully tell me what bulb should fit in the fitting or they have just left in the orig xenon holder and tried to just rest a H7 bulb in there ? Thank you

ps.MOT in two weeks it will def fail....

Does the reg flag up which bulbs in the likes of Halfords?

If the headlights were xenons then they should have refitted xenon burners as there not swappable from halogens as there will be no beam deflector in the lens.

Sounds more like an HID kit that was fitted so should be able to fit the correct halogen bulbs.
H4 has 3 lugs on them so could be those.
Try the ref in Halfords website to see what bulbs it says are fitted.

Who is 'they' and what exactly makes them think they have a clue about automotive lighting. Take car back, speak to manager, get correct lighting installed, i.e. xenon, not halogen
