If its a crisp white light, then it is likely it will be LED, most likely a 1w SMD type fitting like you get on BMW's etc. There are a lot of lower powered LED bulbs around which don't have a decent power output.

Alanm_3, are you pleased with the light output? Is it good?

No complaints at all, as bright, if not brighter than the original bulbs I think, but much whiter! Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Did they fit ok? I was told by an online supplier that I needed a 38mm festoon whereas these are 36mm? |

They were slightly loose when I first tried them, but since the contacts are just steel strips with holes to locate the end of the bulbs, a small bend inwards was all that was neededto tighten them and I've had no issues since. Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I've got the led's and found that if turned directly down were too bright, angled them round and got a nice light instead of a starship
