Ian and Peter - it was because it worked fine on ignition that the lower wattages passed the first test, with an odd combination of units!
But yes, I will up the wattages first and see if that sorts before moving on to Stuart's point. Thanks all.
Need to find highest wattage small globe and those weird long festoon bulbs...
Interesting to find I can get 21W festoon rather than 15W currently. Good.
The sidelight units at the front are BA15S and you can get small globe versions at 6V up to 15W, which I can paint with amber. I can't get a standard size bulb in.
I see they DO a 21/5W dual pole in the 6V (small bulb) - I wonder if I can bodge that so it all works via the single wire... or insulate/isolate one of the pins for the sidelight.
