sure? I just found that they were C5W, and that guides me again to festoons, and they come in different lenghts =(

W5W seems to be the headlamp pilots (or that small bulb between fogs and mains, not sure if its called pilot)

12V 5W Festoon, 37 mm long overall x 10.5 max dia. Lucas No 239 I think.

Thanks a lot =)

Yeah 5w capless = w5w for the licence plate. The festoon ones are for the interior?

deffo w5w bulb as fitted these myself last week :thumbup: interior lights are also w5w for left and right side interior lights and main light is festoon

Think estates have a festton, and hatches (definitely) have a w5w capless.

Hatch over here, so I'm getting 4 w5w then, license and fronts =)

Don't remove the lenses to replace them as you either end up pushing the bulb holder through, or pushing the holder halfway up so the bulbs melt them. It's best to lift the interior trim enough to get to the bulbs or remove it completely, though it can be dificult to get back on without some help, the estate is worse than the hatch.

w5w I went for osram cool blue. Despite the name gives a clear white xenon look. I was going for the new bmw look :)
