Title: Apparently vx dont do +50 bulbs anymore
Post by: Taxi_Driver on 17 January 2007, 18:10:33
After a headlight bulb went 2 days ago.....i called into vx dealer tonight and ask for two vx+50s for my omega.

Parts guy said dont think we do them anymore....i asked are you sure.....parts guy said i'll double check

He called up the parts screen, found the +50 bulbs, memorised the part number (it amazes me how he does that!!)

Opened up the stock window and typed in the number......he showed it showed no stock of the bulbs in the dealer where i was and no stock in the vx dealer across town......he then pointed out that the description had been deleted which meant that he couldnt order any.....so is that correct vx dont do vx+50 headlamp bulbs anymore..... :-/

He suggested i went to Halfrauds to get some  ;D
