Dead right hand DRL and new wipers

[choppedliver]

Guys,

The car is getting on a bit (6.5yo) and my upgrade has been delayed (wife is getting a Macan instead) and I've got 2 issues:
1) DRL on right hand side died today. I'm not sure if this is a single globe or one per light, but both are dead? I have seen people who've upgraded to the whiter DRL/Halo/Angel eyes. Is there are a source for these?

Also if both lights are out is this a different problem? i.e. connector?

2) Wiper blades are dying. Is there a non dealer source for these?

Thanks in advance

1) The 2 rings of angel eyes are 1 globe using reflectors. If you want the "whiter" angel eyes, get an LED lamp, like LUX or BMR Autowerkes sell their own versions i think.

2) Get the bosch wiper blade equivalents, check their website. Available at nearly all the normal auto retailers.

Awesome news.

Thank you. Can you get the globe at any normal auto retailer?

Dunno if you will get them at a normal retailer, check websites, but they are a H8 style globe.

I found them after Repco wanted $50 a globe for Narva.

BMR for the win.

Repco had aftermarket wipers for $60 which was great.

Thanks Superdaws!

I bought wiper blades off ebay (Bosch) and I think I paid $55 delivered, from somewhere in AU, so they came a day or two later I think.

And the H8 globe (one per side) is hard to find. I had to go Bursons to find one, and they wanted 40-something for it I think. I remember that Auto1 didn't have any, and I suspected that Supercheap Repcobarn might not either.
