What type of fitment is the front indicator bulb?
« on: August 11, 2010, 05:11:03 pm »
Whilst replacing the sidelights today i pulled out the indicator bulb and holder to have a look and when i went to put it back the bulb fell out of the holder and dissapeared into the lense i think, I can't reach it anyway wherever it's gone.  :ashamed:

It was a short thin pointy bulb, Bayonet type fitting i think, Anyway what is the fitment size called?
And will it be ok to leave the old bulb in there?

Cant you take the headlight unit off and rattle it about to get the bulb to drop back through the hole?

Doesn't that mean taking the bumper off?

Get the silvered indicators!  :happy2:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Thanks Boothy  :happy2: but the indicator bulbs on that site are way bigger than the one in my pic,
It doesn't matter, i realise now that i need an H6 12v 6w bulb with offset pins, Just seen it on Halfords website.
