Parking/Day lights - 244GL '81

244GL · Jun 24, 2005

'ello.

My 244 GL (1981) is currently configured as
Day running lights = 21W
Parking lights = 5W
Is this a standard arrangement for 21/5W bulbs?

Is it possible for me to reverse the order thus
Day running = 5W
Parking = 21W
?
Please enlighten me.

Thank you.

No
(Not without crossconnecting cables or breaking the bulb.)
Why would you want to?
Don't you want us to see you?

Ah!
Currently I'm not using day running lights (legally not required in Australia) though I felt the
lights were too bright at 21W when I used them. I wanted them to be 5W as parking lights, I use the
parking lights at dusk/raining thus I wanted Parking = 21W, Day running = 5W.

I shall not forget to carry a spare 8 Amp fuse when I visit Norway!
Takk, Asbjørn.
