Number plate lamp

[peaktorque]

The only thing (that I can see) that is an MOT fail is the broken number plate lamp.

They are TR6/TR7/TR8 jobbies - is that right?

Stag too James from memory http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-TR6-TR7-TR8-REAR...

IIRC you can include Stag in there as well.

I don't know if theres a difference between the lights mounted behind the number plate (as mine are)' or the ones in front of the plate

Thanks lads.

Thought as much

Mine are behind the number plate and the plastic holder has snapped off due to too much beer and stuff jammed in for this years Le Mans. Going to make some sort of shield for the new ones - carpet isn't man enough (and I'm going next year - so don't want a repeat )

Mine disintegrated when I touched them, probably form heat and age. I replaced the lamps with LED ones at the same time and they show no sign of the heat damage that was obvious before.

Yes I've spied the LED bulbs on eBay and thought about using them.

I'm going to use some ali foil behind the number plate too - as let's be honest - its not exactly 'illuminating' in standard form.
