Hi all
Well having fiddled around with the bulbs on the lights of the trailer (one bulb on each side seems to do 2 lights as has 2 metal plates touching the bottom of the bulb and so when the bulb wobbled slightly would work one min and not the next as sometimes did not touch one of the metal plates...nightmare!). This then got me thinking...and please excuse my ignorance....are all the bulbs in the trailer lights the same ie wattage etc. They are push in and twist bulbs but do you have to have different for indicator, brake, lights??
In fact if anyone can tell me exactly what the lights are that would be brilliant as not used it yet this year and I cant remember.
I know the middle one is the indicator but the red ones on either side?

Thanks...hope you understand what I am saying???!

Thank you, thank you...this has explained a lot! Think the wrong bulbs were in when we bought this last year as there are no bulbs that had a double filament...just been out bought and replaced...makes sense really that "Wobbly" bulb should have been double filament with double bottom. All sorted for our trip tofrance in Aug.
