hey i can agree with the incorect fitting of bulbs, even though there holding pins are at different heights people wedge the bulb in the holder and destroy the plastic
what i dont get about that is why would the side lights come on as when there fitted incorrect the side light comes on brighter ad the brake light is duller, there aint a sort in the system caused by it,
i know this btw as i fitted by rear brake bulb the very first time ages ago and the old bill used it as a excuse to tug me
the disco lights is the multi plug having a bad connection or coroded, again very comon on mk4 escorts too, there shite cars aint they, why do we bother
