FAQs

Most of the modern parc runs the small capless wedge — with festoon and small bayonet types on older vehicles — and the designation on the old bulb's base or the handbook confirms it, listed first on every product page. Match fitting and voltage; tier is the only decision after that.

Colour temperature: standard sidelight bulbs glow warm white, while HID and LED headlamps cast cool white, and the mismatch shows every time both are lit. The whiter upgrade tiers exist for exactly this — matching the cast within the road-legal fitting — and it's the commonest reason side bulbs are changed before they fail.

Yes: front position lamps must work, show white and be secure, small as they are — and a dead sidelight is among the most-issued minor defects because the bulb's failure is easy to miss from the driver's seat. The walk-round glance at lights-on catches it in seconds.

Holder tension and corrosion, almost always: capless wedges rely on spring contacts that relax and oxidise with years of heat cycles, and the flicker is the contact, not the filament. Clean the holder, ease the contacts back into tension, and the position usually steadies without a part at all.
