Title: Rear Brake Light bulb
Post by: Chilli Girl on June 6, 2017, 08:49
Foxy's brake light bulb needs replacing.  Is it easy?  I do have a ducktail spoiler, does this make it more difficult to replace please?

I'm PFL but assuming they're both the same your bulbs are all accessible from the engine bay, just twist out from the holders. No light cluster removal required...

Think I was thinking about lens replacement when I mentioned the ducktail spoiler removal!  Of course it must be from the inside to replace the bulb?  I am stupid!   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

Well, I went out to replace the bulb, took it out and noticed that it hadn't blown, removed it, put it back and low and behold it worked!  Perhaps it was just a loose connection after my fun I had on the twisties at the weekend.  I do remember hitting a dip in the road relatively quickly when I overtook a slow coach, well it was a car & caravan actually   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:   Wonder if the connection dislodged a little then, it was quite a dip in the road and I wasn't exactly hanging about  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:    s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:
