Hi
You've got a new bulb paired with an old one.  Try changing the old offside bulb for a new one as well.

Elite now gone.  Bought an X-Type 4x4.  If there had been an Omega 4x4 I would have bought that instead.  We really liked the Omega, but I wanted 4x4.

Change both bulbs to a matching pair of good quality items, not cheap rubbish from filling stations etc as the check control has problems with some of them.

Halfords bulbs seem incompatible with Omegas - fit either Vx or good quality bulbs (I've had no probs with Ring auto bulbs)  HTH
