magpie67 is on a distinguished road
was having probs with my lexus style lights just over a week ago.
osr light would come on, then go off, i thought maybe just a loose connection, cos if you wobbled the wire it stayed on !

Not being electrically minded i took "millie" to my local mechanic (who knows the car well) , he took out the small pcb with the leds on, examined it , said they were notorious for bad connections, cleaned it up, put it back in and now it works fine !!! a total of 35mins work, which he didn't charge me for

Right now Ive got the OE lamps in, just need to sort out bulbs. So favour time.

On the Rimmer site, the rear light section. Bulbs 3 4 5 6 and 7.... What are what?

If you look at the listing they are all orange.............FCOL!!
