Default CLASSIC NO. PLATE BULB...???

Driver side one not working.

What type? Large festoon?

Easy to replace? Or stupidly fiddly?

They have 2 small bolts each side, they will be seized, which means you end up damaging them trying get covers off

I have also bought LED lights to replace, got a spare set if you need any

Replaced mine with white led's (which look nicer) last week, easy job in principle as long as you can get the 2 screws out the hold the lens in place?? I just managed to remove them by twisting the screw head with a pair of pliers after the screwdriver stated to slip, use plenty of WD40 before you try and remove them though, after you've removed the lens just pull the bulb out of the holder.

Yeah, I thought that'd be the case.
Even the 'easy' jobs can be a pain.

Are those LEDs pictured the pattern of bulb required?

Oh great. Didn't realise they were 501s (cue 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine').

Peace of ****. I'll get some 5W Crees; same as what's in my sidelights.
