Hi all, as i have to replace the rear licence plate illumination bulbs i’m confused …; can the bulb be replaced on its own? I just can’t get it out of the holder…there’s a sleeve in the middle of the holder sugesting it could be bended to clear the bulb but that doesn’t seem to work ans as i’m not the most handy guy i’m scared to break it…Beside that i can’t find separate bulbs on the MX5 parts and IL site; it’s sold as a complete unit…

It’s the same as below but clear of course, the side repeater/number plate bulb. They are just a push fit. They are showing on Mx5parts👍

Thx, just found out trough a youtube tutorial concerning a led bulb replacement (just to have an idea how to extract the bulb)…in my case it was a very tight fit (that’s what made me doubting) but after some persistance and with the aid of a knife (trough the sleeves) it worked…thank you for that extremely quik response anyway. :wink: :+1:
