where did you get them again? Do they light the whole housing or is it a hot spot in the lamp? |

I serviced the Rangie yesterday and I have had the Hungarian reversing light bulbs in for some time now and yes they are starting to distort the lens quite badly. Whoops If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.
