Why do you think you'll ever need those? Those high current fuses only ever fail in the event of an impact or dropping a spanner where it shouldn't be.
If the battery is disconnected before working near the electrical system, those large current fuses should be OK.

If you really want some. Then even Halfords superstores sell them these days.

i doubt i will be needing them its just that i was looking in owners manual for the fuses as the dip beam and headlight bulbs have gone on the drivers side and i found it a bit odd that they are both out but while i was looking for the fuse for the lights i noticed the bigger fuses and just wondered where you got them if need be as i have never seen fuses as big before.I have got two h7 night eater bulbs ready to fit hopefully tomorrow

Don't forget that you'll need matching bulbs for each side
Additionally Night breakers don't last long on vehicles fitted with intelligent charging systems, like the FL2. So make sure you have some spares handy.

As long as you fit 1 Night breaker onto the dip beam of each side, that's fine. Bulbs should be fitted in pairs, if they are special, or different from what is already in there.

Technically you end up with a vehicle that could well fail the MOT due to odd coloured head lights.
Night breakers emit a brighter, colder light than standard halogen bulbs. So if you only fit a Night breaker into 1 side. When the vehicle is viewed from the front. The Night breaker side will be brilliant white, but the other side will be dimmer and more yellow. This is an MOT failure, straight away.
Why would you not want both dips to be brilliant white and matching anyway. If a job is worth doing. It's worth doing it properly.

Don't forget two bulbs each side, dip and main, fairly sure mine had h7 and h11.
