Rear bulb

Featured Replies

Gonna sound daft but it's not. Honestly. The top left bulb has gone in my passenger side cluster and that bulb doesn't come out with the 4 others. Anyone know how to replace the bulb?

There's 4 lights that come on with your side lights.  The middle 2 are in individual holders (a bit like the 501 bulbs)  - is this what you mean'

If it's the one I think it is you just pull the holder out and pop the bulb out. It's just a push fit into the light cluster. 

 

When you take the initial cover off and look inside it kind of looks like an old school Xmas tree light. Sorry I can't think of another way to describe it! 

 

I'll get a picture tomorrow of mine if you still can't get it.

The middle 2 r the indicator and reversing light. It's one of the bulbs on the curve of the 'C' if u know what I mean.

Just push where the wires connect to the bulb as there's 2 sets of wires going into the back of the cluster.

Yes that what I meant - the top and bottom red bulbs are in the main holder, the 2 middle bulbs ( in the C)  are in individual 501 style holders.  They are a funny wattage from memory as when one of mine went the replacement I put in was brighter than the rest.

That's the ones I think. How did u remove the bulb? They don't seem to be that easily accessible.

Right folks. Feeling like a right plum. Went out and had a look at the rear cluster in the daylight and my god that was easy. 

 

Oooops... 

 

Thanks for the help though. Appreciate it. 

It's always easier in daylight :D

 

Have you got the new bulb in yet?  I can't remember the wattage but the one I got was brighter (and looked better) so swapped the other 3 put for the brighter ones.

Yeah. Just grabbed a cheap emergency bulb set out of b&m. Gonna look into other bulbs at some point. Where did u get urs from? 

Bulbs you need for the parking lights are W3W which are 3 Watt. Your cheap emergency set are probably 5 Watt.

Correct bulbs are readily available from motor factors as well as Amazon.

Might have to look at a few different options.
