Title: i30 headlight lamp replacement
Post by: Perspective owner on June 14, 2016, 07:19:40

G'day guys,

One of my lowlight headlights blew the other night and I'm trying to find a replacement bulb, but I can't find a part number anywhere. Does anyone know by chance what it is, or where I could find it? I'm driving a 2012 i30 GD2 (I think it's GD2).

Cheers

Pretty sure both low and high beam globes are  H7's on the GD...  :)

Don't you have an owner manual?

According to the last post in this thread Rusty is right.

Thanks guys...except for AlexM who was a little bit of a smart a$$.  :razz: I did check the owners manual but could not find a parts list.

It may be the uncertain nature of conveying attitude via written communication, but perhaps AlexM was alluding to the many instances where owners of older cars have never seen the manual. Benefit of the doubt towards the positive is always best. :victory:

I hate tapatalk, I had written a message and I press "back" by mistake and... message deleted 😞

Resuming, I didn't see the reference to a "part list". (Edit: I didn't see you was looking for a part list)
I said it because sometimes is easier and quicker to see the manual than ask here, where you have to wait to an answer.
I said it for you, to be sure that what is the correct bulb type.

When you see bulbs models, there are a lot of variety and it only marks "H1", "H4", "H7"... that means that there isn't a restricted or restricting part list. It is the same example to the windshield wipers, there isn't a part list, you only have to see the measure of the wiper to see if it is suitable or not (600mm and 350mm if I don't remember wrong)


Anyway, I said a time ago my english is a little .. bad. So I guess many times I sound weird or rude with no intention.

PD: I tried to resume but i can't

Thanks AleM for not taking offence and getting offensive. Your English is fine!
