Hey guys just checking these are the correct bulbs for behind the heaters....these are similar to the ones vauxhall supply u with right? I've had led's in there but they are too dim, i'm thinkin a bulb like the originals will be brighter? correct? Cheers for any feedback

Also...on cold mornings when i have my sidelights on the blue leds on my speedo flash at me, sometimes staying off for some duration. Does this mean the led is going and needs to be replaced? Or just a bad connection?

leds flashing,its a bad connection... mine does it
Coloured 286 bulbs will be brighter but will fade over time and obviously don't last as long
