Replacing Cerb rear light bulb?

[browrz]

I’m sure its been covered before but i couldn’t find a thread. I’d welcome any pointers before I risk making a mess! Many thx (its a 2002/3 car).

Ooh ooh ohh, even I can do this one

Pull back the carpet in the boot and pluck the old one out of the holder. Easy peasy

Thanks fubar. Maybe my rolling tvr assumption that everything is amusingly tricky was wrong in this case! However, behind the carpet I have what looks like a rubbery condom arrangement with the wires coming out the back. Not immediately obvious how one gets into this to retrieve the bulb without damaging it? Unscrew, pull it off?

[ridds]

3/4 round lights?

If so the metal casing should unscrew if they are the same as the front lights.

Thanks Ridds. Yes same as yours and knowing that unscrewing was that way forward I was happy to break the mastic seal and hey presto!
The bulb is dual filament but I can’t see that either looks broken making me want to ask if there is a chance tvr ran a different fuse for each brake light? I assume not and its just that I cant see the break.
These bulbs a Halfords stock item you guys reckon?

[ridds]

Yep standard stop and tail.

Thanks again guys

FUBAR .... Near but not quite there B- . :-)


Yes a simple halfords twin pack bulb sorted my brake light out over the weekend. When I pulled my carpet back it said bulbs in place on a sticky tape.
