It's dark I cant read it properly.

Some call them globes.

The new longlife ones are shite.

See the previous post re ''1 candle power headlight v's eastern beaver relay kit v's HID conversion.''

Me too.

Matt, you seem to have completely missed out the religious implications of changing a light bulb, I don't know about you but.....I've seen the light

[lumpyv]

[turbo_billy]

....and don`t forget the age old question.........how many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb...........
Only one, but the lightbulb has really got to want to change.......
