I'm Awesome
Oh cool-happy for ya. I think you can connect the corners and should be no problem with the mot-cause why would it(unless they're permanently lit).I did get a chance to do some checking re lights and flashers. Spare headlight bulbs came with my Burb and they are as specified in the handbook - 9005 (51W) and 9006 (60W). How can a 9012 be so much brighter if it's only 55W? Are 100W versions of 9005 available?
Also, had a look at the 'corner' flashers. Bulb missing and a (blue) wire cut. When I slot in a 5W (wedge - 501) bulb and push the blue wire into the other bulb's connector (where its blue wire enters) it flashes and the flash rate remains constant (both flashing in unison). And, it's visible from the front. Why this is deleted in the UK is a mystery. There's also a cut (brown) wire coming from the forward facing bulb mount. That bulb is dual filament with only one utilised (the higher Wattage one by the looks.
Apart from allowing me to have corner flashers, this also tells me additional trailer flasher bulbs aren't going to upset the system - result!
And found the release handle for the rearmost seat. Didn't trouble my self removing it but just by slightly lifting I could tell HWB aint lying about its weight. Brunel would be proud of its construction!
Learned shed loads about my truck today - cheers HWB and DS.
As to 9005 against 9006-due to construction of the bulb(HIR2-something to do with coating inside-don't ask me specifics) it gives more light. My own experiance is whiter light-a bit brighter with the bulbs I used-you lose that kinda "dimmness"-hard to explain really. Hoe's lights are not bad at all(comparing to i.e. 94 Stang) but I found the new ones to be better-they feel more modern now.
