Rowley92 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Alright folks, Today I tried to change the number plate bulbs to LED's but struggled to get the holder out. It now seems as though I have damaged the retaining clip, as the holder no longer stays in place and is quite loose. Any one else had this problem? Or is it likely that they will just need replaced?

Rowley92 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 I did manage to get the bulbs changed but in the process of doing so I seem to have blown a fuse. So basically I now have the following:- Rear (lights on bulb) left hand side not working Number plate bulbs - both not working Front sidelight - left hand side not working From the fuse diagram, it's not clear.. Any ideas? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Check fuses 21 and 22 in the main fuse box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowley92 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Mods can close this topic as its been resolved. Basically I swapped the other bulbs back in place and re-started the engine.. And hey presto... Everything working again. Must be a defective LED. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Did you try the LED in both ways round? They have to be installed the correct way unlike conventional bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowley92 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Yeah I did that first but I forgot to mention that on here. All good though, hopefully a new LED on the way soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 For future reference; use an allen key (or similar), insert it in the small hole to the side of the light and level it so it presses the clip in which will release the fitting, like so: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowley92 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 I actually used your guide haha but I only used it after I had bent the retaining clip with a screwdriver.. I now know for future! Thanks for uploading the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
