I have the same issue with my Euro wanted to change my low beams got all the way untill the pulling out part of the bulb but had to stop.

Just did not want to stuff anything up.

Will have to wait until my 1000km service and will leave it to the pros :D

Hiya Rev888,
I have read quite a few negative comments in this forum regarding the LOW beams in the Honda Accord Euro Luxury and people wanting to change them. Now I will be purchasing my Euro luxury in the next few weeks, just asking, should I request the dealership change the low beams to something like the OSRAM50+ etc right from the outset, when purchasing??? I appreciate the Dealership will make EXTRA $$$ for doing this.

The low beam for Euro Luxury is HID, I don't think OSRAM50+ is HID???

no i think hes talking about the more expensive bulbs, not HID

ixl your car comes with high intensity discharge lamps for low beam, not halogens like the one from the standard euro. the comments from before are not applicable to you...

The Euro Luxuries HID's are some of the brightest on the market regardless of Make or Model, Just read WHEELS magazine Car of the Year issue 2004.

When it comes to current lighting technology for cars, you couldnt ask for more.

When I picked my car up I drove it down through picton road near wollongong , which is pitch dark with no town or street lights for miles, and they turned night into day turn on your high beams and fog lights and its crazy.
