Parking lights

[bathcv8]

Hi All,

can anyone steer me in the right direction for a parking light replacement for the CV8? Part number? Likely cost? Equivalent alternatives? Whether there's laws against getting coloured ones? DIY-able installation?

Diyable, just, if your vehicles on the ground, better to get it on some ramps to get to the bulbs with eae. 10 mins to replace if that start to finish.
While you're down there, think about upgrading your fogs too, as if you go for blue/white replacements for the side lights the fogs will then look like candlelight ( yes i know fogs are meant to be yellow, but tbh does anyone ever use and benefit from them in fog? 14 years of driving and I've never just driven with fogs on.....) better they match imho

agreed on the fogs front. i will be replacing mine as soon as it warms up and defrosts.

if like me you have some issues pulling the bulb holder out as they haven't been touched in years. you will find a big pair of pliers very handy
