As many of you have done, I recently replaced the stock headlamps w/LED lamps. A very helpful post, which I am grateful for and followed for instructions, discussed removing the bulb in the small running light ("side light" in UK/Morgan vernacular) and wrapping in tape. On the driver's side of my M3W, this resulted in inadvertent contact between the two sides of the running light connector, which caused a short. How would you know? Because the same circuit and fuse are responsible for the driver's side taillight (again, "side light" on the Morgan fuse box) and I was only getting light on the passenger side taillight. 5A fuse drivers side 3rd from left, rear row is in the circuit.
Fix: leave the bulb in the connector; or cut the wires and separate.
BTW, this is not a slam in any way on the original poster, without whose advice I may not have found the wonderful Speaker lamps. Kudos to him. Drive on!

Surprised the sidelight circuit was live!

4 years old though - the newer Trucklite might be worth considering...
