High Level Brake Light

[Silver Bullet]

It was pointed out to me at the weekend that one of the bulbs in said assembly wasnt coming on.

I investigated and sure enough the offending bulb was indeed burnt out.

I did some searching without complete success, I decided to try my local motor factors, they did a search and found an exact match with a Lucas bulb. THe price was very reasonable £1 each plus vat.

As another one was flickering and they were all pretty black on the inside I decided to replace all of them, it came to a total cost of £14.40 (I have 13 bulbs in the holder), result !!!!!!

Part Numbers :-

Skoda...N900-510-02

Lucas...LLB 284 (12V 2.3W) T5

The bulb holder is released by pressing inwards(firmly) a sprung button located at each end of the holder and then

carefully pull it downwards towards the ground (with the tailgate open) , it is a tight fit.

I had one of mine blow a few months back and replaced all with led bulbs which I got for a few pound from china.

Sounds a good mod, are they any brighter?.

I think these are the ones I bought. They are definitely brighter, I will try and take some pictures if I get a chance.

The listing is for 10 so I bought 20 and for £1.98 can't complain at that price.

Thanks for this guys. A few bulbs in mine have gone too and I was dreading doing something about it - looks like an easy one now!
