Just so we get this right, why have we got a difference in the festoon lengths? I noted the "standard" lengths from suppliers (they are generally 42mm or 38mm) and physically checked the length (only against a ruler tho').

Also what is the "error correcting" bulb for the number plate? (Mine looked like standard festoons.)

Note to self - missed the footwell lights..

I am assuming the 36mm refers to the original bulb length.
The codes 6418 etc are the original bulb ref numbers.

The "error correcting" bulb for number plate has built in resistor to prevent
bulb out error .....

Thanks Iyole,

I will leave the lamps as listed and let others make up their minds as to what will be the replacement source/size as each manufacturer uses different stock number codes.

I attach the list at version 2 (including the puddle lights and footwells).

Just been having a look at my (FL) indicators to see if I can reduce the "fried egg" look.

The front ones are 21W bayonet, but with the non-opposed pin type - I've no idea why. I think that's called a 581, which is 120-degree offset pins.

The rear ones are, surprisingly, clear (382's). The amber colour is in the lens which I didn't know. Not much you can do about that, other than going "US-style" as discussed in another thread.

Well I've replaced my front indicators with silvered bulbs and lost the fried-egg look; well-pleased with the result which I may have mentioned before and can be seen here.
And today I replaced my sidelights with LED's as mentioned here: http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/showpost....5&postcount=61(which was probably in the wrong thread )
These are the offset pin bayonet type (434 or BAX9S). They are quite long and come almost to the end of the reflective well, so having only side-facing emitters works very well.
(Just waiting for some "upgrade" main-beam bulbs to arrive now.)
Pictures, firstly the sidelight alone, secondly with headlight on. Nice.

That's a much better colour on the sidelight for a xenon plus, better than any others I've seen I think. One of the reasons I upgraded my standard projector headlamps to xenons rather than xenon pluses was that I just think the sidelight is better/fuller on the xenons, fills the whole headlight area rather than just a little "egg cup" zone which looks more like marker lights. I think that you've found the right LED bulb though, would be good to see the before and after in darker conditions!

fitted these tonight and they look nice and white and a good match for the Xenons, guess the key will be how long they last, previous attempts only lasted a few weeks before one or both of them packed in, not really sure why as even the very cheap ones seem to last a while in my son's car

Where is the driver front foot well light located in the LHD cars? I don't see one in my car.

[MikkiJayne]

Its in the panel that covers the pedal box and takes air from the central hvac unit to the floor vents. Same piece as on RHD but opposite
