Righty ho. I've got nightbreakers in my dipped and main now (MY11GS). What can I replace the sidelight bulbs with?

ta. I've also got Night Breakers to fit into low and high. Together with the side lights will I have any fuse issues?

Reet bulbs have arrived. Will my fuses cope?

Should be fine, the night breakers don't draw any more power than the ones you've taken out, 55w. The sidelights I would have thought are ok, they claim 15w but not sure if that's a brightness equivalent or what they draw.

Admittedly I don't have so many to replace (HSE so xenon and fairy lights) but put night breaker in for main beam, changed all my other bulbs, reverse, fog, puddle, indicator repeaters and interior and have no issues at all, other than everything is brighter!

Naks, no, that's the slot for the cornering lamp IIRC if you have got Xenons. Side lights are the fairy lights on those units Thumbs Up

I just ordered the cree sidelights from AF.

Oh well, I'm sure I'll find a use for them elsewhere, maybe on the Puma Laughing

If these are the same sidelight bulbs, and I am pretty sure they are, then they draw 3.6 - 4W.
