I reckon the Morette`s on my estate are the dog`s danglies BUT.... I reckon they`d look better if they all lit up on low beam. Currently they only all come on if on main beam where the inner lights also come on.
My questions is that if I put double filament headlight bulbs in the inner ones will they light up with dipped beam as the outers do? Anyone tried this?

Have a look at the vehicle lighting regulations as I think there is a limit of 2 for vehicles manufacturered after 1/4/91. I thought at the back of my mind that this applied to older vehicles but on checking the 91 date may be appropriate.
These regulations are not easy to read.

12v ones should do you just fine Mr Mad, remember trucks cheat and have two 12v batteries so you can happily wire up 12v applications without too much bother
Could just drill the back of the current lights and glue in some 12v LED's? if you want to do it off a bulb i suspect you'd be better off using the current bulbs and simply add a dimdip resistor off a stnadard BX, might fidn the wiring is already there

Sounds like a lot of expense when all you need to do is change the bulb in the inner lamps like Billy first mentioned.
Regs permitting of course all you need to do is fit the spots with high/low filamnet bulbs and then obviously you will need some extra wiring to power the low beam filament, a simple set up like used to contro;l the spots already should work fine.
Alternatively if the spots have a clear space in the silvering to take a side light then it is just a case of glueing a sidelight bulb holder in place.
OR you could fit some angel eyes shouldn't take too much work to fit them around the optics insid ethe shell.
