Well, found out last night thanks to my mate that my passenger brake light is out. No problem I thought ill pop to halfords pick a bulb up happy days. Flip chart recommends a 380, me being non the wiser gets home pulls the bulb out and bang a 7443. I can only assume the 380 was for the pre facelift rear clusters.
No problem I thought I'll check on the halfords website to see if they have any available, could I find one. NOPE!! Then I thought.
No problems I'll give them a call, when I explained the situation the girl had no idea a 7443 bulb existed and explained that numbers like 501, H3 etccc are sometimes related to the brands that make them...... Okkkkkkkk at that point I felt like the conversation was not worth continuing hahaha xD
So it looks like I might have to resort to trusty eBay. However my question is it worth going for a multiple l.ed bulb or just sticking with a normal one. I've seen brake lights before with l.ed and as long as there multi directionally spread around the bulb they seem much brighter and also respond quicker. Has anyone fitted any or can recommend a good quality bulb
Many thanks
