    Tail (rear) and reverse and indicator lamps..all wedge based

    just a heads up for old school drivers here,Had ocassion to change the rear tail/stop lamp.i noticed it was out while checking my trailer lights,so without checking just stopped at the local garage and bough a 21/5 watt offset pin bulb.Got home and discovered all the rear lights are wedge based.So back the the garage to swap .For the record there are 4 "terminals" on the base of the brake/tail wedge in the form of four wire loops.You should have continuity between diagonally opposite loops.i had neither,the new one did,and hey presto let there be light and there was light.i got a spare too!

    LOL yep old school. Tail lights for modern cars have been the T20 wedge type for a while now.
