Sooner or later, the bulbs in the rear lights burn out. It would seem that it would be easier: to take a new lamp, suitable for the size of the cap and voltage, and install it instead of the burned-out lamp

However, please note that the rear lights use lamps with the same base, but different power - 5 and 21 watts. And this is an important trifle.

Do not confuse the lamps in places: 5-watt lamps are used for side lights, 21-watt lamps are installed in direction indicators and brake lights.

If you install low-power bulbs in your brake lights and direction indicators, other drivers simply won't see your signals in inclement weather.

And powerful lamps in the "dimensions" can melt a plastic diffuser and a lamp reflector that is not designed for such a thermal load, and besides, they will greatly interfere with drivers who drive behind.
