A colleague at work noticed that my 2 rear brake lights weren't working on my facelift mr2 mk3 when I braked but the top brake strip was. I went to Halfords and bought a set of rear brake lights (code HBU380 - 21/5W PR), got home and came to fit them but they don't look like the correct fitting, does this sound like the correct code?

thanks

I recently had to change mine too. Halfrauds gave me two options, and one was correct. Take your old dead build in so you can compare it in store.

Well having finally fitted the correct bulbs the brake lights still aren't working, any ideas what this could be caused by? all the other lights in the cluster work and the top brake strip on the engine lid

Mine needed a good wiggle on the cable before it worked.
