Halfords

I need to get a light bulb inserted. Do you need to make an appointment with above. Thanks

I don’t know, give them a ring jj.

I think if you buy the bulb there, they'll fit it while you wait:

In my experience with Halfords on the Boucher rd you need to book an appointment

[jennyjoan]

OK - thanks for that information

It takes about 2 minutes to fit a bulb. You shouldn't need an appointment.

Halfords is ridiculously expensive though. They charge "from £9" for fitting, on top of a high price for a bulb. So you'll probably have to pay around £20 in total. My local garage will supply and fit any bulb for a fiver.

Took them 20 minutes to replace my RAV4 bulbs.

Unfortunately (bulb replacements at front of the car) on many modern-day vehicles, it is necessary to drop the front grill and bumper valance. In addition, it can also entail loosening **bolts on the nearside or offside front wing to enable the lighting unit (which houses the bulbs) being disconnected and pulled clear of the vehicle. This can take 15 to 20 minutes IF all goes smoothly.

**Usually Torx type i.e., NOT conventional phillips or flat blade head.

They changed my wiper blades while I waited. They were excellent. That was a little while ago though

Halfords couldn't do it as bumper needs to come off so my mechanic is doing it in the morning all going well
