I've noticed that when I switch on the sidelights, they start off dim and become brighter over a 1-2second interval.
once on,they're fine.Hadlights etc are fine as is the battery. Still the same with engine running.
Any ideas?

Thanks james, will check earths. Unfortunately, it's now dark o'clock when I get back home from work.

is it the same with the parking lights? engine off get an operative to push the indicator stalk each way and see what happens?

You must have the posh version Dave . I've a basic panel van with no parking lights?
When I turn on the sidelights with the ignition off, both sidelights come on. Moving the indicator doesn't change things.
Thanks anyway.

No no no, with the ignition OFF, turn the indicator one way or another, and you will have parking lights. but as you've solved the previous problem it won't be so important!

Cheers dave, just went out to the van, moved indicator both ways and I've got parking lights both sides
Woo-Hoo

Sorry for being so thick and not reading your earlier post correctly.

What a star man you are

turns out you have the posh version too then

Not really, as the advert says,"you don't have to be posh to be privileged"
