Main beam bulb welded into socket

[shabba00]

Hello all,

Got a nice suprise when I went to replace my main beam bulb on my 407 ( 2004 ) to find the bulb had welded into the socket.

I went to a spare parts place ( not peugeot ) to see if I could just replace the socket for the bulb.

His reply was i need a new headlight unit which we all know would not be the case.

I just want to replace the socket and rewire it in.

Can anybody advise on my best option/ where to get a socket for my bulb as I`ve tried to remove the bulb but it looks as though its there to stay.

Cheers

How has it managed to 'weld' itself in? From memory, its only held in with the clip?

Its the bulb holder

I`ve just had a look on ebay and found a replacement bulb holder for £5 so thats saved me a few quid.
