as the title says, the sidelight bulbs {501 wedge type i think} have gone all yellow and dim, anyone know where you can get a replacement, but i,m looking for a brighter “white” bulb, found loads of 12v but not much in the way of 24v, please, no comical answers from the anti spotlight/frilly curtain brigade :laughing:

Have you checked the earth connection for the sidelights? Usually,when a lamp shines “yellow” and dim, it means there is a poor earth.May be nothing wrong with the bulbs :wink:
