Okay. Boring question but one of my sidelight (w5w) bulbs has gone. I cannot believe that the internet has such a vast array of replacements.
Has anyone tried any of the upgraded sidelights as various companies make a lot of "performance" claims.

Secondly has anyone tried the 100watt xenon bulbs? I put 4x100 watt bulbs on my 325i a few years back but collared by the police in the Chiltern hills who told me they thought I was something out of "close encounters" when they saw me coming over the hill (so I had to change them)

Ta for any advice

Your car is less than 1 year old - claim for a new one on the warranty. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I dont think that will cover the side lamp bulbs. It will cover the xenon headlights though

Just changed my sidelights. It was really easy, even following the instructions . The radiator grill needs a bit of a tug to release it from the two lugs on the bottom though!
