Wife took a bmw x1 in to local branch…
Wife took a bmw x1 in to local branch to have nearside dipped beam replaced. I had already removed bulb plastic covers and bulb under bonnet in effort to assist in replacement. My wife was advised by bulb fitter I should have left things alone and he was unsure if he could retfit plastic covers to rear of lamp housings. He then agreed to fit the bulb and used the access from the plastic wheel arch liner and even managed to return the covers I had removed which could not be a simpler job. Bill came to £26. Upon return I checked the beam alignment and found the nearside dipped beam to be much higher than the offside.Close examination of the bulb revealed it had been fitted upside down. A year ago my Daughters car failed its MOT in a local garage with the tester stating headlamp bulbs had been fitted upside down. She informed me she had two new bulbs fitted earlier at the same local Halfords in Sudbury.Seems to be a bit of a training is need here.
