General Interior light

[Bushboy]

Both of the bulbs in the front light in the brava have died (definatly just bulbs as one was working before and has died recently).. anyway, where do I buy them and what type are they etc? do halfrauds sell them? Anywhere online i can just get them?

Cheers

They are standard 5W bulbs - prob 50p each from any motor shop. Only 2 screws to get them out hiding behind plastic covers. Bulbs might be ok though was just bad connections on mine.

If I may suggest, don't buy different coloured ones unlss you never want to see inside your car in the dark again :bang: They are 239 (36mm) bulbs and you can get them from motor factors, M99, UltraLEDs etc. You ping two little flaps off the light (and sunroof motor etc) unit, next to where the switches are, unscrew those and go from there. When you get inside, the light assembly is spring loaded and you'll need a fine selection of implements, patience and someone with little fingers to get the bulb into place. There's 2 in the front and 1 in the back of the car.

i did that in my young (dumb) days. i even had colour changing LEDs once. how embarrasing

Mine are purple, can't see a thing in the dark but it's such a faff, I'll leave it until either they go (another 5 years then) or I get really annoyed at them

aww i dont have a bulb in the back of the car unless ive never noticed but i did notice that the marea interior light has little spot light thingys on the fron are they any good and do they fit

My rear interior light is at the back of the roof, in the middle, above the rear seats. I thought the little spots in the Marea unit were for the alarm - unless I've never looked closely enough. I have thought about buying one and sticking some LEDs in there but never done anythingn about it.
