Can someone point me in the direction of the proper bulbs I need. I bought mine in Halfords as a direct replacement for the original type 380's.
Best I could get was the whole lamp glowing not just the outside bits which would allow the centre bits to illuminate when the brake lights are activated.
Do I have the wrong bulbs mebbes? :smt017
Go on tell me where to get em, and not on ebay gos I'm not allowed auction sites at work.
BTW for what it's worth, those LEDs would burn your retinas oot!! :smt007

YIPPEE, mine arrived today, looks very well made, like how its even got the makers mark and code numbers on it (yes officer its original fitment from the factory :smt003 )
know I cant wait for the weekend to fit it, will have to chase up some globes too, maybe get some of those nice led ones you guys have got :smt007

Greg, wife almost done a flip when the package turned up, (not from me spending money I already softened her up about that) she looks at the box and says "how the hell did he get Davison from Doriean" :smt017 then she looks again and see its the sender not receiver Dooh, women eh got to love em :smt003

.... but then they've only just got to Australia - we'll have to wait a while for them to arrive back over here


Anyway, Cheers Greg - I do appreciate the effort you've put in - and by all reports, to excellent effect. Now, come on the Post Office ....

OMG, it's just occurred to me. A couple of months back I bought a scooter for my son (Aprilia Sonic - that's the scooter's name, not his). It was a bit bashed up as it had been stolen and recovered by the rightful owner. Got it home and the tax disc was missing. The seller found it and posted it to me. After several weeks, I gave up waiting and bought a duplicate tax disc ... 2 days later, the original tax disc dropped through the post -about a month after she sent it ..... Oh I hope it's not happening again .....

Yep - my clogs have worn a rut in the cobbles where I've been pacing up and down the street listening for the hooves of the Post pony.

I blame Mrs Goggins myself - senile old bat. Bet she's put them down somewhere and forgotten to give them to Pat to deliver.
