Same as your Carlton. :y Can't remember Watt/power rating though.

there is only one type of watts, can have led's in them as well. if at front there are some leds, with 4white and 4 red. :y

There's a few different sizes. 5 watt (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOX-OF10-FESTOON-5-WATT-LIGHT-BULBS-239_W0QQitemZ130268832125QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1e54a0a17d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) 21 watt (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12-volt-21watt-Festoon-Bulbs-42mm-long-Flasher-bulb-12v_W0QQitemZ390104394627QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5ad408ab83&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) 18 watt (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Auto-Marine-light-bulb-12v-18w-Festoon-x-4-BUB212-4_W0QQitemZ180400209567QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Campervan_Caravan_Accessories?hash=item2a00b0be9f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) ;) ;) ;)

Err? Pass. :-[ ;)

No worries - looks like I'm off tomorrow, so will have a proper look.
A bulb has gone in one, is all!
LED's - there's a thought...........

35mm and LED`s are total crap in the door lights unless you have at least 8 per bulb and then they`re still pi$$ poor

You missed out the 10W ones ::)

Agree, the LED ones work well in the roof, but are useless in the doors

Being completely honest, I think puddle lights are purely for show.
Can't say I've ever 'used' them in the intended way! :y
-
they are only for the car coming so they see your door is open. usless at anthing els. and it say's only one type should be fitted 5W, thats in the book, wrong bulds fitted can over heat the puddle, as they are not vented.

True, but LED's don't warm up as they are not a bulb! :y

Actually, some of the heat dissapation from some of the High Intensity LED`s is staggering, not from the LED itself, but usually require a small heatsink to dissapate the heat generated from the current they pull.
Seen quite a few melted courtesy lights now that have been used with multiple LED replacement bulbs from Chinese Fleabay. The more expensive LED bulbs, although also hot, do not yet appear to be melting the plastic, but even so, you may not need to use the heater in the car !!

Didn't know that!
I'm not the greatest versed in LEDs, but the ones I have played with don't get even slightly warm!

Very different to ordinary LED`s.
One of my other Companies is involved in aviation design, and we have a prototype landing light here that we were playing about with a while ago using 12 high intensity LED`s grouped together. This is mounted on a billet aluminium heatsink 10" in diameter and around an inch thick, and it still gets too hot to hold !
