[s-cars] bulbs

[Mark Pollan]

Hi Jim:

Yes they do require "modification".  Take your old bulb out and compare the
size of the upper mounting tab.  I am currently whittling them down to size
with a utility knife and a final forming with a file.

As far as cleaning, these as all halogens should not be handled by the glass
as the oil deposits result in hot spots and cause premature bulb/glass
failure.  Since I am not the only person that handled these bulbs I just
want to make sure they are clean.

Regards,

Mark

Subject: [s-cars] bulbs

I am very new to the S-Car list, although I have owned my '95 S6 for six
years..  I came in in the middle of the discussion on bulbs and I
ordered 9011 and 9012 bulbs for my headlights.  They arrived today.  Do
the bulbs require any modification to fit or do they just fit as they
came?  Do they require cleaning before installation?   I was confused
when I read Mark Pollan's email.
Thanks in advance for the help.  I look forward to being an active
participant in the group.
