samplify Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Hey guys, Whilst I was changing some bulbs on my car I noticed that my sidelights don't actually turn on. They do not appear to be the simple push-twist lights. They have a black and copper clip over them, once you take this off its a large metallic bulb that has a semi-circular metal shield just after where the actual glass bit of the bulb ends. I have looked in the service manual for a fuse related to sidelights but cannot find one. All other lights are working perfectly. Any suggestions?

They sound like the High Beam , side lights unless you have an led strip should be 5w5 and be on a white plastic looking stick in the centre section by the H15 DRL bulbs are.

MarksST Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 If your lights are like the ones in the pic you posted you don’t have a sidelight bulb, you have a H1, a H7 and the indicator bulb. The sidelight is done by the led strip at the bottom of the light unit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samplify Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 You are correct Mark. So am I right in saying the H1 is used for full beam only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
