I’m sure I have one you can have. Let me see what broken lights I have, I’m sure I can cut one off for you. I may well already have one cut off. I’ll have a look in the morning,

I have one. Not sure which side but I don’t think they’re sided. If you want it just donate a couple of quid to the forum and I’ll put it in the post to you.

always best to make sure the rubber boot is fitted behind the DRLs and more importantly the black plastic wheel arch access panels are fitted to stop water ingress

I agree, also wise to cable tie the access panel in place.

He hasn’t taken me up on my offer so I imagine he’s sourced one elsewhere.

Don’t suppose you have another one of these drl bulb holders?
My daughters has gone brittle with the heat, snapped off and the bulb no longer stays in the socket.
Bulb keeps dropping out into the light unit and a real pain to get back out ?

If he doesn't plenty of people breaking them on eBay or the owner club group on Facebook I'm sure somebody with a damaged light unit would be happy to send you the bulb holder our of one

Most likely. Working early tomorrow so won’t be able to check until Tuesday though. Will let you know.

typecastboy · Nov 10, 2020

Yes I’ve got a few of these. If you would like to make a small donation to the a Forum and then PM me with your address I’ll get one in the post to you.

I had a similar problem, mine melted to the bulb...so I had to replace it, too. I used also one "universal" part from ebay. Did not fit perfectly, but for the DRL I think, the filament alignment is not that crucial....

Olliver · Jul 15, 2021

Do you think this will fit? I already bought cheap universal ones as you could see above, but the slots in the lamp didn´t match well with the pins in the lamp holder...
