Wow..... 122 posts about a bulb :)

Just for the record, bulbs grow in gardens! What the OP needed was a filament lamp, albeit a back up filament lamp! :lol:

Do you mean a spare one, or a backup one?

Not sure as you bring this back up again, it could be a back up one to have spare in case back up needed, do you know I am no longer sure:(

My truck has six reversing lights fitted, so I don't need a back up backup bulb.

But interestingly I did not know that 1990's Vauxhall Astras use 16w bulbs.

A 140 does also as the high stop lamp.

But could it be a standby, or a standby standby? What if it blows and its needed urgently, does that make it an emergency or even an emergency standby?

Even i'm confused now.

I think the Vauxhall Astra comment was a reference to Calum ;)

God, I hate this thread, I wonder what the Google spiders make of it all
