They're reproductions... so Filamant/Halogen

Shame, their filament, although I thought they would be if they where LED the sellers would have advertised it (still no legal LED option yet).

Re: This happened to anyone else?

Just a thought (I’m no expert) is the van on level ground or loaded more on one side.

Re: Square Inner Headlights LHD vs RHD and N/S vs O/S?

Every days a school day :D
