Not sure if that link works but what is the rating etc for the rear stop / tail light bulbs please also jay mentioned some LED ones are they just the bulbs as I know you can get those but not sure if they cope with the dual function oh yeah could do with th ASAP as I put the clear rear lens on and the two regular red bulbs are kak and not working well. No it's not me the clear ones work fine

21/5w arent they, like the rest of the vehicles on british roads...?

A quick search for LED stuff brought up this:

Not that the LED ones will be of course - they draw much less power for the same brightness.

You can get them from lot's of places, even sell them at Halfords, (but not the cheapest or best).
The main thing to go for is getting bulbs with the most LEDs.
You also need to make sure that you get bulbs with some side facing LEDs as well as rear facing, or you will not light up the reflectors.
Without these you just get a bright red LED group the size of the bulb.
With a few side facing this lets the reflector light up the whole light unit with a bright central LED core.
I tried a few, as you will probably gather, before arriving at this conclusion!
Mine were sourced from Hong Kong via eBay, were the cheapest and came very quickly, but got them some time ago, so not sure who from.

These are the two types -

1) Side and rear facing, the best.

2) Rear facing only - not as good.

General search -

Go to vehicle parts and accessories/ Red LED tail light bulb

Was near my local Halfords this PM, so called in to check and they don't seem to sell them any more!
The others were better!

Yeah - but this was the Google search rather than the Forum search .... the choices we have
