What do you mean by 'bb' bulbs?

The dim/dip bulbs on yours will be H1 items and they are the same in the Main beam. The cover on the back of the light rotates off with a light force applied. The bulbs are inside the headlight held in by a spring clip which hooks off. Be careful not to touch the bulbs on fitting as the oil in your skin will cause hotspots on the glass and cause them to blow/fail. If you are considering brighter bulbs you will be best buying a HID kit from a retailer on the net. I have three kits from a retaileer on ebay called dianeshop and they work well.

Hiya,

in section 6.6, the 2nd picture shows roughly how to change main beam bulbs and "daylight runner" bulbs. Daylight runner bulbs are the same as dipped beam but I think are run slightly dimmer with a lower voltage.

Driving light bulbs as far as I am aware are just the dipped beam lights. If your car has 2 domes to swivel out for main and dipped , they both use H1 bulbs. If you want to turn off the daylight running bulbs, the light switch in the car has a small screw in the corner, just turn this and it should turn the lights off when running and light switch is set to off.

55w , just don't go higher, blue tinted are fine, got mine from ebay ......
