number plate bulb replacement

Post by ozzy »

MOT due, need to replace numberplate bulb. tried to gently remove clear panel, seems stuck fast. tried to remove unit by undoing 8 mil bolts from inside mudgard but wires not long enough to allow me to pull it forward. just thought i would ask before trying to remove clear panel again.

I thnk mine had a pair of bullet connectors on the wires, but might have been retro fitted.

Not been there yet, but would put money on the clear section being bonded to the housing and not being removable/replaceable. There have got to be some connectors adjacent!

Just nipped out to the garage and although I didn't try it looks to me the bulb is mounted in a rubber 'bung' that pulls out from the back of the unit.

I would have also thought the wires do have bullet connectors on them and these should be a couple of the half dozen or so tucked into the top & corner of the mudguard right next to the ECU.
