What’s the difference between HB3 and HB3A bulbs?
Just the angle of the connector asI understand it.

Yeah that’s it, same bulb fitting, same connector just 90degree fitting instead of straight. That’s the ones I got as plenty of choice.

Should pass the MOT Steve as I measured the angle and height to keep it within spec. Did the same on the elise and it passed no bother. Easier to change on the Exige though as adjuster is in the wheel well. Image

Tackled the TTD bulbs tonight. Success. Some of the trim shrouds are a bit fiddly but all in all, easier than changing on our Octavia Mk 2. Turns out the classy previous owner of the car had also fitted Nightbreakers...albeit not the 130% ones...but meant I didn't need to change the full beam lamps. Popped a couple of Osram Cool Blue Intense sidelight bulbs in too. Much whiter than the std candles, and look a lot better against white bodywork.

Couildn't do a road test though as had a nice red with dinner :damnfunny
