Jyden, there is an EU directive allowing the use of Daytime Running Lights (DRL). If you have these, then you don't need your other lights (side, cockpit, and registration plate lights). The ones I installed are 5.5W each, so when it's light outside I use only 11W, instead of about 200W.
Of course, when it gets dark I need all of the lights. I've replaced my front position lights (2x5W) with LEDs and rear turn signals (2x21W) with multiLED bulbs. The latter makes the turn signal flash faster, since the lower current makes the relay think a bulb is out. Each bulb in my car has a different socket, so I'm always on the lookout for LEDs that will fit the lights I still haven't replaced. My third stop wasn't an LED, had normal bulbs (4x5W), but the new roof extension blocked it, so I disconnected it and added an LED stop mounted lower.

When you go for a tune-up, or when you go to change your tires, check the alignment of the wheels. Maybe ask them to straighten them slightly more.

I did this repeatedly until there was no more alcohol, and my vision got blurry.
