Puddle Light Bulb Help Needed Please.
27. May 2011 at 21:12
 
Today I decided to take the cover off the drivers rear puddle light, on attempting to get the bulb out I accidently destroyed it.

I am upgrading them to SMD's and wondered what size in mm the bulbs are please?

Cheers

Once I know the sixe then I don't mind breaking the other 3 to get them out and then just pushing the new ones in.

i think they're called festoon bulbs, as for the size? dont know sorry, and why do you need to break them, the covers pull off, the bulb just push/wedge it out!  Thumbs Up!

I got no probs in getting the covers off but for some reason they have been put in really tight.

they are held in by a metal strip that acts like a spring so they will only move one way to get them out  Thumbs Up!
