Hey folks,

Stupidily I put LEDs in my side lights (Mk 2.5). approx 2 months ago. Now the the nearside light only works intermittenly. Is this a sign it is burning out or possibly just a loose connection. I know most of you have advised against LEDs for side lights. I think I will end up changing them.

On a related note, why can I not find any upgrade bulbs for the tail/brake lights? Do they not do LEDs for these?
