DRL bulb holder
Does anyone have any Day Running Light bulb connector/holders. I seem to have an odd pair on my car...I'm looking for the one that suits 21/4 watt bulbs - the BAZ15d socket
It looks like this one on the left...
Thanks!

Got to say I was surprised to find different bulb holders on either side of the car. i was aware there are different ones but strange to fiit an obviously different part. Both bulbs different too, and not working! Amazing the pop-ups still worked...

Re: DRL bulb holder
The pop-ups still work on Pollution, but have you noticed how the headlights are on all the time, even when down?
Hopefully cured by new drls!

Re: DRL bulb holder
Hi
I to had a problem with a DRL bulb holder that on my 480 burnt out ( upon removal i found that someone had forced a different type of bulb into the holder - non off set and dispite it working for over a year it finally gave up and shorted out)
However just incase any member is looking for such an item i purchased a new one from Skandix for 19 EUR, postage from this supplier is expensive at 20.23 eur for what ever but at least they have some of these somewhat rare items - in addition to this i also purchased my pop up light hinges from them which again are hard to find.
Their website is well worth a visit
Regards
Dennis

Re: DRL bulb holder
Understandable but as mine was not working at all i felt 40 euros was better than a fixed penalty !!!

Hi all,
Would anyone else happen to have one or both of these DRL bulb holders for sale ? We are currently going through bulbs like there's no tomorrow.
