Good question and no upgrades. All I'd done was replaced the two blown side marker bulbs with two spares from my spare bulb box, so I'm not sure how old they are or whether they're a matched-pair (unlikely).

I'll buy a new pair of "old school" bulbs tomorrow from my local spares shop & see whether I can clear the warning message.
