My Avenger failed mot on no pattern on front headlights. its running H4 bulbs I have a feeling these are the wrong ones. If I fitted older style bulbs would I require a beam pattern  cheers in advance |

If it uses tungsten bulbs, the pattern will be completely different, what kind of headlamps are fitted?
the chrysler avenger can have either tungsten or H4 bulbs, but it is marked on the glass which it takes.

Just to ad the H4 Slots do not match up correctly in the lamp the lip and dents are not aligned correctly.

Well she pasted  so worth the £10. Worst bit is passing the MOT. She was purchased there and then and just had to say bye as the new owner collected her about half hour ago. Off to a better future than I could give her I hope. |
