Title: Dim Sidelights
Post by: fashionphotography on September 13, 2021, 03:50:11 PM: 2007 jazz 1.4 when i first got this car i noticed the front sidelights although covered with the plastic cowel were very dim.. but even after changing all the bulbs pre winter measure and replaced the front sidelight bulbs with LED bulbs they still appear even with a white light quiet dim compared to other cars.. anyone else noticed this

Do you find that yours sit at a funny angle? Mine sort of slant towards the outside of the car, perhaps I haven't got them seated correctly but both sides are the same. A right pain in the arse to get to.
