So, when I bought my Classic the person who drove me to get it followed me home in moderately heavy rain. On arrival, he told me the rear lights were dim enough he'd only been able to see the registration plate, not the lights.
I've replaced the bulbs, and cleaned up the contacts, but they don't seem to be particularly bright. Now, I suspect that's because I've been spoiled by LEDs on everyone else's car, but given how fond I am of the Classic now, I'd very much rather no one ran into the back of me. Sadly, I'm not really old enough that I can get away with sticking the fog light on every time there's a bit of drizzle.
Long pre-amble but, the point is, I'd like to fit a nice bright LED to the tail / brake light fitting. Most standard LEDs aren't suitable, as they don't have the same functionality of dual filament bulbs.
Has anyone swapped their incandescent bulbs for LEDs where it needs a dual filament? If so, how'd it go? Would you recommend it? Any tips on good LED replacements?
Thanks in advance!
