brake light bulb replacement

[silverT350t]

Is this a difficult job in T350 (haven't looked yet, just noticed it was out this morning), passenger side bulb has gone. What's involved in replacing it?

Cheers.

Dead easy. I got a bulb from halfords. There's a leather panel that's velcroed on that you just remove to get into the light compartment. The bulb should just screw out iirc and you can just pop the new one in.
Just feel lucky it's not a headlight bulb! They sound like a bitch to replace!!

cheers, sounds straightforward (not what I was expecting from TVR!), I'll have a look tonight.

My rear nearside brake light has gone on my Tamora. Is it as simple to replace as the T350? Ta

Bulb is easy to replace on both the Tam and T350. I have replaced both, but when i've looked at the bulbs they haven't actually blown, the lead contact on the buld has worn down and ceased to make contact, funny it happened on both my Tam and T350? Are TVr using crap bulbs?

Important Tip! Have a nurse and a tourniquet standing by as you rip your arm to shreds on sharp pieces of fibreglass

Quick update, bulb replaced, although not sure that was problem as, sods law, it started to work once I got access to it! Couldn't find an obvious wiring fault though....

Speaking of which, on my car '05 model, there isn't an "access panel", you have to remove the leather trim that runs under the boot opening. Not difficult but slightly more time consuming, then you get access to the light clusters.

On an amusing note after getting the bulb, guy on till in Halfords asked me to tell his female assistant about my Tuscan ............. honestly, knowledge of cars?....
