Would I be correct in thinking a five speeder has the front sidelights in the headlights?

That being so, anyone tried a LED replacement for the sidelight bulb and kept the H4 headlight bulbs? I've seen sites selling them, and at a suitable brightness to take part in the arms race for daylight running lights, and forums saying the heat from the headlight bulbs will kill them quickly.

My motive is actually to reduce the current consumption as although I've fitted an alternator, turning it slowly means I never get full output (I might if I went everywhere at 80 mph but that is not really a good idea with a 1930 car).

There is no way by the way, I can turn the alternator faster, without putting it on view - and for obvious reasons that is not happening.

I am sure you are correct technically Paul but I have had these fitted for 3 or 4 years with no MOT issues. They are considerably better performance than the original halogen bulbs, draw less current, run cooler and are a straight swop. If your MOT tester objects it's not a big deal to refit some halogens for the test.
