sidelight?
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

Re: sidelight?
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...?

Re: sidelight?
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

Re: sidelight?
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.talcumpowderbut wrote: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 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.
