My first thread here!
Having recently picked up a nice Insignia A on a 13 plate, I wanted to change the very dull/yellowy DRL bulbs to LEDs to improve the look a little but I'm having a bit of bother fitting them and was wondering if anybody could help.
It took a while to figure out just how to get the damn bulb holders out but i got there in the end - the problem is that the new LED bulbs i bought are longer than the standard ones and there's not enough wire on the connectors to give me room to get the new bulb in. I could slip the LED bulb into the back of the lens and then try and connect it but i'm concerned that will end with a bulb loose inside the headlamp case and i'll be taking the whole front end apart to get it out.
I see 2 possible solutions there's either a trick to find a bit more wire on the loom or there's a type of LED bulb that's the same length (or less) as the stock bulb?
All help gratefully recieved guys
Cheers
Andy
