GT/UR Rear Light Bulb Holders Question - Dual
Hi, I'm converting the single brake light bulb holders to the dual ones - which bulbs do I need for the bottom 2? Obviously the old GT holders bulbs don't fit..
Might be a stupid question, can't quite work that one out...it's an answer here, or try all the bulbs in Halfords!

The old/original holders had a single filament bulb in each. One for A brake light, one for A tail light.
The later holder uses a twin filament, with brake and tail lamp working in both positions 12v-21w/5w

Cheers for that explanation. I got a stupidly cheap set of the later twin filament bulb holders off the bay. I've always thought the single filament gives out so little light, so thought the duals would be a good upgrade and an improvement.
Thanks again Andy

I did that many years ago, because it seems the average driver is too blind/stupid/distracted-by-fartbook to avoid driving into the back of me. I figured twin tails with twin brake lights might help.
Maybe
