    Headlight (low beam) bulb replacement - dumb question I know

    I have a really dumb simple problem to replace a headlight bulb but I'm out of time and I need to drive up to the high country at 4am tomorrow and now the shops are shut apart from service stations.

    Just wondering if I can get a replacement bulb from a servo and if so, which one do I get? It's just the low beam regular headlight bulb.

    Thanks, sorry for the simple dumb question but hopefully there's a simple dumb answer

    Prob just the bulb, they usually just blow one if the filiments. unless you have some witing issue. Quick probe of the plug with a test light will tell.

    Upgrades are usually just a different globe, same mount base, and maybe heavier gauge wiring. Std globe should still fit.

    There's a high probability that those Narva LEDs won't fit the D1 without chopping out the bulkhead area behind the globe.
    Heatsink design on their globes appears larger that the small amount of space behind the light.

    But you can get LEDs that have a slimmer heatsink design to fit in there.
