Does anyone know where I can get some brighter side light bulbs from ? I'm about to fit my Morettes and I wanted to fit brighter side light bulbs as the standard ones are rubbish

What's the maximum wattage I can fit ?

Thanks Phill

Try the Philips Blue Vision bulbs, they offer a much whiter light than the standard W5W bulbs.

Phill,

This is where I got my last set from:
http://www.powerbulbs.com/products/p...=pbvs&type=W5W

They are only 5w but they are a much whiter light than the normal 5W bulbs.

Phil,

I'm sure I saw somewhere (think it was the PIAA site) that there is a direct replacement for the wedge shaped sidelight buld. It was a new product, a High Intensity LED. I'll go and have a look for a link and post it for you.

http://www.piaa.co.uk/bulbs/bulbshow.asp?ID=led

takes you straigh to the page, the site also lists stockists.

Halfords do a 15watt bulb it has a larger bulb head but it does fit through the lens hole . Had them on my 93 wrx for over a year a lot brighter white colour no problems.

IanW,

Ordered the ones you recommened from the suppliers you recommended funnily enough. Arrived within 2 days and they are just what I'm look for. A nice white light, not an orange ****ty colour.

Thanks for the advise Phill
