Well the short of it all is that one of my parking lights have gone, and being a bg thats noticable. now apart from being weird looking to have only one parker on, is it illegal? i know its illegal to only have one headlight on, but does this apply to parkers too?

its just that im too busy to go and get a new one right now if i dont have too.

Cops will only pull you over for a parking light if you're calling attention to your self or have 'P' plates.
All external lamps should be in working condition, even the number plate ones.

it takes two minutes with a phillips head screwdriver ... simply unscrew the screw and pull hte light from that side ... then plug hte globe ... and put in the new one!

just do it.. it's easy only take a couple of mins

but i was lazy like u and only had one parker light for abt a yr.. actually my excuse was i wanted to convert my light system simular to the j spec... but in the end couldn't be bothered and just went and got the globe at repco and it's done and finish...
