Rear Numberplate Bulb Failed
Just a quick Q, hoping someone can save me some time and hassle:
One of the bulbs on my rear numberplate light has failed, is it a straight forward unscrew and bulb swap of the lamp holder or is anything else required. If it is just a single bulb swap, am I correct that this is the right one? V50 Numberplate bulb at Halfords Thanks muchly. |

yes just unscrew,you might find the contacts were the lamp slides in are oxidised and need cleaning up.

Can anyone recommend a good replacement LED bulb for the back numberplate lights on a 06 S40?

Bazz,
LEDS - I have them on mine but dont get the cheap ones I bought ones like these and they last for ages. You get that BMW/Lexus number plate look. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2x-39mm-239-wh...item414fc756ad Rgds Jon |
