What bulb - Mk 2 boot?

Post by rowey200 »

My current Mk 2 needs a new bulb in the boot, problem is, the old one has been removed by the previous owner so I don't know what it is.....can someone shed some light on what type of bulb I need to pick up :?:

Cheers :thumleft:

Great stuff, cheers!

As luck would have it I had a 501 in the tool box, slipped it in and works a treat, only issue is, the light is not going off when the boot is closed (hence why the bulb was removed by the previous owner).

Any ideas how to fix this? I could't even see where the switch is...mind you, it's fairly dark outside, i'll have a better look tomorrow!

The switch is inside the boot lock.

Out of curiosity, how did you find out that the light wasn't going out with the boot lid closed......?? :shock:
