Any one know what is the pin orientation on a 90 / Defender stop and tail bulbs
Just struggled to get an off set pin bulb out of mine so I suspect it's parallel pins but can't see which

I have only seen offset ones on merc cars.
How old is the defender?

I always thought dual filament lamps had offset pins, otherwise how would you know you got it the right way round for brake or tail?

Staggered pins are standard stop/tail bulb set up, but some cars also have the pins in different positions, ie normal staggered
is 12 and 6 oclock, different offset would be 12 and 4 oclock, plus the pins are still different heights as per normal stop/tail.
