I may be wrong as it is quite some time since I did it BUT…
some of the panel light bulbs are as you describe with the bulb permanently fitted to the holder but IIRC some of them use an identical holder which is fitted with a removable capless bulb. I think that in the past I have been able to substitute the fixed bulb holder with a capless bulb holder.j
The fixed bulb and holder were available from dealer, VO30710781.
Halfords bulbs : 286 (1.2w capless) and 504 (3w capless) will fit the holders for the removeable bulbs.
