Re: sidelight bulbs
Serious question - why would anybody want bright parking lights?

Re: sidelight bulbs
They compliment my blue (formerly) headlamps, and now quite suit my all weather headlight bulbs, the blue tinge compliments the purple tinge of my headlights... Like a fine red with dressed crab.
I guess i'm doing my bit for the environment too as they use less leccy.

But seriously, I guess they would make it much more practical to drive on sidelights only on roads where sidelights only is allowed. And being LED, there would be a useful energy saving over headlight usage?

Re: sidelight bulbs
Thanks Mike - I always think it's dangerous to drive on parking lamps only. They tend to "disappear" when you're being followed by one of those extra bright German headlamps.mikeonb4c wrote:francophile1947 wrote:Serious question - why would anybody want bright parking lights?

Re: sidelight bulbs
Hope they are better than the ones I got from Ebay. Only lasted a couple of weeks in the sidelights, but the same still work ok as number plate lights.You've Been Bongod wrote:get the led capless bulbs from any motor factor for about £3 - £5 pair
