Cheers

SO why are some that are for sale only 10 watt? Is that maybe because the bulbs are meant for a range of cars, and some will run 10 watt as opposed to 21?

Will the 10 watt one's still work in the Orion?

10 watt ones with small glass envelope are used on the number plate illumination of some vauxhalls.
Indicators on your orion are 21 watts 12 volt, parralel pin.
