Title: side light bulb holder
Post by: pete127 on March 03, 2015, 07:32:54 AM

Hi folks,new to this excellent forum and hopefully I've posted this in the right place.I'll also have to point out that I own a 127 rather than a 126 but I'm looking for some advice.I want to move my side lights in to my main head light and have got the head lamps with the separate hole.Can anyone tell me what sort of fitment I need for the side light bulb?Are they still available new?Looked at some universal ones online but they seem to small for the hole.

Any advice much appreciated.

Pete

 Hi Pete and welcome to the forum.
 Have you got any pictures of your 127? I`m a big fan and had few in the past. Is it a mk1 or mk2?

 As to the lamps you need something like this.

 The ones in the link look slightly different to the original.
 I`ll have a look today in my shed as I should have some second hand ones.

Thanks for the welcome 1973/126.

My car is a '79 mk 2,not quite standard as I've done various things to it.I'll get some pics posted for you.

If you thought you might have some up for grabs then that would be great!
