Side light bulb

[Graham66]

What is the wattage of the side light bulb?

I replaced mine with the one from the toolkit and went to get another to keep as a spare only to find the original has no markings on it

Anyone got the spec to hand - or the toolkit? I dont fancy taking the bonnet cover off again just to find this out!!

Cheers

If you haven't found out by tomorrow, I'll get my manual out of the boot and see if the spec. is in there and post tomorrow morning

Cheers,

Andy.

Very good service from these guy's too.

They are just under a tenner but give a nice clean white light (even though the glass is blue in colour) I have them on my Focus along with some Osram Silver Star H4's.

I have Tuscan stylee lights on my Griff and have moved the side lights to the dip light assy, its now a white LED and i have to say it looks great. The old side lights looked rather ugly poking up as they did, my opinion only.

I too have some LED white lights coming in the post to me tomorrow (i sent back the ones with the blue tint as they where too bl00dy blue).

My off side one has just blow - DOH! What sort of fitting are they ? I would like to get the right thing before I get the bonnet off and have left the tool kit in the other car.

You may get the bonnet off and find the bulb hasn't failed, they can work loose and the complete holder drops out the back of the lense, it is easy to spot as you can see inside the wing

You still need to get all the bonnet and inspection hatches off though, but may save you the rice of a bulb! - Been there, done that, then the bulb went about 6 months later and I thought it had dropped out again - doh!
