Re: Hazard light don't work

Update....... i did get it sorted..... eventualy....... it was a fuse in fusebox. Think it was the hazard fuse. The fuse looked fine, the wire was not broken , but when replaced the hazzards worked. I recomend buying a new fuse anyway, see if that cures your problem. Worked for me ! Good luck.

Re: out of all the days, the car had to break down on xmas

That sounds normal, as the water it the block reaches 90c the thermostat starts to open, allowing cold water into the block. this shows up as the temp drops slightly. Then as all the water warms , the thremostat opens fully and temp shows 90c.

I've got the 50w kit,6k, & its very bright, takes about 2 min to get to full brightness, can't say how much better than the 35w kit they are but i dont think i've seen any other car headlights that look brighter.... & it passed the MOT without a second glance from the tester ! :D
