sidelight?

Post by talcumpowderbut » Tue Apr 30, 2013 9:40 pm

I have recently ordered two sets of sidelights. And both are about double the size of the original. What am i doing wrong. Do different years of nc30's have different sized side lights? I have a '91 vfr. Thanks

I *think* the JDM and export versions of the VFR had different sized indicators. Pretty sure the UK spec ones were bigger. Or I'm talking crap...?

the sidelights are within the main headlight. are you trying to get replacement bulbs?

IIRC it's just a T5 wedge bulb (ideal to replace with an LED version) - can get bulbs from eBay or any motor factors

No, it's me being a numpty, how did I confuse sidelights and indicators, or did someone sneakily edit the thread? ;-)

The UK spec NC30 has larger bulbs than the Japanese spec NC30.

I assume you have a Japanese NC30 and ordered UK spec bulbs.

The UK bulbs are 12v 5w
The Japanese bulbs are 12v 1.7w

I think there called T7 or T10 or something.
