Car Bulbs

Can I change a car bulb myself?

You can change a car bulb yourself – sometimes they are fairly easy to access, and to extract and replace. Your vehicle handbook should tell you which bulbs to buy as replacements. However, sometimes it can be tricky to access the bulb as they may be behind the screenwash container or the battery or behind the plastic air filter housing. Also, if you do change the bulb yourself, make sure not to touch the glass of the bulb as any dirt from your hands can cause it to fail straight away.

In all, it can be a bit of a hassle, and if you have to remove housings etc, it can end up taking a couple of hours for the inexperienced hand to change a headlight bulb. Save yourself the time and the hassle, and give York Tyre & Vehicle Services a call. We’ll be happy to help.
