hi , you want to repalce the head lamp unit or just the bulb? if it is just the bulb, dont bother, they are so cheap in SGP. if you want to cut cost, go buy bulbs and replace it yourslfe. Unless you want to replace the whole LED lamp.

So cute. Some ppl think exchange rate S$1 to RM3+ things will automatically be very cheap.

Did you think about moving there permanently? Lagi better, right?

TBH to change the bulb inside the headlight of Beemer not easy and still need to code it after replacement

$10 not easy to earn 

Whereas the rear lamp very easy but need coding too 

🙈🙉🙊

PS. I don't know how to change bulb too 

Mechanic said must wear glove to change

No fingerprint on glass bulb surface

If you on a trip there and want to optimise the savings there, go ahead. If you are going there just for the replacement of bulbs, forget it. 

Btw if you are looking for whole light sets, they are not cheap. I would suggest you look for them in our local scrap yards in Woodland Industrial park or Sungei Kadut or Kranji area.

In this era, with Google, YouTube and such, it is much easier to DIY. Just check the manual for the type of light bulb needed, get them from Carousell, Lazada, Qoo10, Shopee, Taobao, etc. (much cheaper than from workshop or even stockists), follow the instructions from manual, forums or YouTube, and voilà, it is so simple.

I have changed the xenon headlights for my cars before, as easy as changing light bulbs in your house. Just need to make sure you get the correct type of bulb and wear gloves to prevent contaminating the glass surface and wire.

Other DIY stuff I did include replacing flat tyre, battery wiper, air filter, etc. Save me quite some $$$ as well as free meals from friends and colleagues. Err I not freegan hor.

Recently I went to change the engine oil. They checked the lights and found one of the pole lights bulb was blown. They replaced the bulbs on both sides foc.

 

Btw, I used to DIY changing EO, spark plugs, rotate tyres, replacing wipers, etc. Changing air filters and air-con filters are chicken feat.

I ever changed the platinum point for my old car too.

Now I am a bit lazy. So, let others do it.

If replacing one bulb, assuming japanese car, I would think $20, $30 would do. In fact if you have a regular workshop , you could get the labor FOC.  For me,  I would usuallty replace it myself, be it front or back.

Hello! Then I think you have the answer from some of the members here. 

if you just wanna find cheap workshop in JB for this, then no point, you go in, wife cut hair, children can go play some park, you fix your car, then go for a seafood dinner, then I think saving and memories are created. Money well spend. 

If not, you can consider finding a workshop in SG. 

Sarpork our local business abit mah. hahaha.
