Parking light bulb
Parking light bulb
I received a message on my dash saying "check park light" so I did and noticed the F/O/S bulb had gone, no problem I thought to myself so I removed the small unit inside the headlight unit with houses the bulb and it says on it 12v 10w. So trundled off down to my local Halfords for a replacement however they only had 12v 6w and 12v 4w bulbs available. So I thought to myself rather than have a bulb out I will buy the 6w bulb as a temporary measure until I can sauce a 10w bulb. However when I went to fit the bulb the 2 small bayonet type fittings where not centred on the bulb meaning it would not fit
