Where is the fuse for the headlights?

Post by Spud »

My headlights aren't working at all. I presume I've blown a fuse but I have no idea which is which. And which fuse box, the one under the bonnet or the one under the dash?

I have a 96' model if that helps?

Thanks again for all your help. The fuse seems fine. Next thing go and get two new bulbs I guess.

Any recommendations on what to get?

Your fto comes with standard halogen headlights?
If yes, then go for Narva 50+ HB4 for lowbeam and HB3 for highbeam.

Ok Supercheap Auto don't stock them and Autobarn don't either. Well not at my local store here. Any place else?

Also how the heck do you pull the globes out? I don't have a short enough phillips head to unscrew the darn things as there are other things under the bonnet that are in the way! :? :lol:

Twist the holder and pull the whole thing out, you don't need to undo any screws.
LED ALL the things.

Ok this noob had a look at his head lamps and both are dead. So I found a brand new pair of Narva 50+ HB4's on eBay for $25. Is that a fair price?

Spud, $25 sounds good; ex. shipping eh'?
Try repco if you haven't done so.

Or, get philips vision plus 50 if that's available at your local stores.
As long as they're hb4 for low beams. hb3 for high beams.
