Had 1 of the 2 tail bulbs failed on drivers side so purchased twin pack of 21/5w (380) bulb by Osram. Fitted the pair but extremely dim compared to what came out. Tried a working one from the original pair and that was fine. The new bulbs work fine when I tried in another car.

Have I got the correct bulb or are Probes sensitive to particular brands?

Thanks

Have you compared the lamps you are installing, against the what came out?

Yes, they look identical in terms of the filament, bayonet size and the offset of the pins etc. the only difference is the shape of the contacts at the base of the bulbs, I’d assume as long as there’s contact there shouldn’t be any issues?

Go for LED’s ?

That’s what I’m thinking, they require far less power too usually
