:) Could anyone tell me the correct wattage for the little parking light bulbs that are found under the main beam jobs ??. Ive just in the last three days blown 3 of these. The fitting on one side of the car seems to be different to the other side,also one side (the side that keeps blowing) is MUCH brighter ??..Any ideas ??...Thanks. :)

If one side is brighter than the other check the bulbs wattage both sides - if they are the same, you clearly have a high resistance, which is probably due to a corroded connector, which is causing the circuit to draw more current, resulting in the bulbs blowing. If it is an 87 car, not exactly in the flush of youth, these things are sent to try us..
