rear indicator

[stuupnorth]

Hi guys
just a quick question, on changing the bulbs on the rear indicators(1960 saloon that has had the traffictors disconnected)
I noted the rear passenger indicator bulb holder is a twin connector type for a twin element bulb is that normal?
the other 3 indicator units are all single filament bulb type
cheers

Sounds like accident damage, sometime in the last 40 years and the lamp has been replaced with something different.
Externally are the two rear lights identical ? If not you can always purchase a " correct " rear lamp if you want to.

Why are you changing the bulbs.....if it's not broken, don't 'fix' it..... What bulb cam out - single filament or twin filament?

hi all
drivers side rear single filament type holder with single filament bulb
passenger rear twin filament type with a twin filament bulb
as for the bulbs I like to replace with new bulbs as a matter of course
like battery plugs etc

So - replace like with like !

The indicators are an aftermarket fit.The bulbs should be 12V 21W single filament
