Am I going mad? Can't seem to find anywhere that sells side light bulbs with the code 509 as provided in the list in my earlier thread, only 501's??, all i can seem to find is LED twist lock dash bulbs !! As Penelopy Pitstop would say " Help......Help"

IIRC, a 509 is similar to a 501 bulb but in a specific holder (dash instuments) (i think the bulbs are alot smaller too?)

Got mine from the Max Power section of Halfrauds.... Bright white LED side lights. match the Blue/White light of the headlights I have. much better "visibility" for other road users than the atandard yellow candles IMHO.

501's from looking at the website, they definitely weren't 509's
