Thomas77GR Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi guys, I hope you can help My A series has failed on some of the following: headlight beam - I have fitted new adjusters but the bulbs aren't that bright, can I replace these bulbs or are they sealed units? which bulbs would fit (don't mind if they are off another vehicle) can I fit LEDs? any links to other websites will be appreciated number plate bulb - is that straightforward to replace? seat belt worn - would one off another type of vehicle fit? any examples of donor vehicles I could look at? thanks T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Not sure what headlights you have, but generally H1 and H4 bulbs are what fit. You can get ultrabright bulbs, from halfords or other motor factors. Number plate bulb is easy. Holder pops out of bumper. Take bulb along to halfords or motorfactor for comparison, You can use securon belts. Fronts are 514/30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackA1972 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I had the same problem, 2 of my lights where as you mentioned. The my lights where sealed and the replacements I found that fit are Capri mrk 3 headlights. A alternative are these : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-TRAFFIC-headlights-Opel-Manta-Vauxhall-70-75-/270888755648?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f123a61c0 hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upk Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 If the reflectors on your headlights are rusted then you will need new lamps, changing the bulb may not resolve the problem. What advice did the mot tester give you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
