Hi Everyone,
I'm sure this has come up before and probably been answered as well. I've had my TDI for 11 years now and has been going like a Boeing, but every 6-7 odd months, one of the headlight bulbs blow. I've replaced them myself and I've had mechs charge me to replace them, and I've not seen a significant difference in how long they last.
I've looked at LED options, but I've not been able to find anyone (in Cape Town) that can help with the LED installation. I've phoned Extreme Lights and they dont sell the H7 LED bulbs anymore. R&D Offroad in Brackenfell can't help either.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a plcae that can help with LED bulb installations?

LED kits are very simple. You will be able to install it yourself.
They are being stocked everywhere these days!
Easiest will be with bumper off. But if you have tiny hands that will also work.
But the fact they are intermittently blowing should still remain a concern.
