People, having a slight issue with the sidelight/indicators on my 80 Camaro, I can't find any bulbs that have the dual fillament for the sidelight and indicator. I wanna keep the stock orange sidelight look too if I can, I think it look a lot better!

Cheers in advance

You need an 1157, BAY15d or 380 type bulb

These are what you need, the pic shows a single filament but they are a 21/5w dual filament with orange glass.

Yep, exactly what that man said :thumbup:

They are standard "stop tail" bulbs so available from any auto place. Runs 2 circuits... 1 at 5watt the other at 21 watt. The small nodules on the side are offset. That's how you can tell the difference between an 1156 (BAY15s (s for single circuit), mostly used as reverse lights) and an 1157 (BAY15d (d for dual circuit).

For once, halfords aren't doing rip off prices! £1 for a pair of Bosch's, may have to stock up! :

Glad it's sorted! I take it you have clear lenses in that case? Mine came with lovely amber lenses :lol:

I really wanted Amber lenses!!! I couldn't find them anywhere , I bought some lens tape to tint them but it hasn't arrived.
