Side bulb warning !!! Blown !!!

Lightyear · 12th June 2007, 08:27

Folks,

I have got to say the Rover 75 is just so cool with it's ability to tell you what is wrong ??? My Lexus LS400 had a decent computer but not as specific with fault finding as the 75 _ i just hope I do not hear from it too often !!!

Anyway the front drivers side bulb in the side light had gone kaput !!!

It would appear to be easy enough to replace, undo the inspection flap in the wheel arch, remove rubber cover, remove unit and bulb from housing and replace and reassemble !!!

Anything more I should know / tips would be very much appreciated.

One assumption that this is a standard 5w haolgen bulb ???

Cheers + ATVB

I think they will be a capless wedge bulb, dont know about the 75, but easy enough to change on the ZT.

Also if you fancy something different there is a whole thread here on sidelight alternative, leds etc

I think it's a Halfrauds 501, same as my Vectra's dash illumination

Non-hallogen and around £1 each
