Hi guys,

My rear interior light bulb is blown, so just wondering which one I need to replace it with basically! Google and Halfords don’t seem much help lol.

don't know, but as you are asking I assume you have not removed it yet, but until you do that you can not be sure it is the bulb that is at fault. Rather than buy one only to find it's not the bulb that's the problem check it first

Just take it out and hand it to one of the helpful people in Halfords and repeat the words.

"I would like one of these please"

Haha not really sure I fancy the trip to Halfords at the moment!

Also not sure you can hand things to anyone at the moment!   I know you're tall but guessing you don't have 2 metre long arms.  

Has it definitely blown?  Not just switched wrong?  And have you checked someone hasn't fitted a cheap LED instead?

Failing that, take a photo of it, post it here, and we'll tell you what you need...

Better yet, post it on the Mk3 Facebook group and see what they say you need...  11w SES CFL probably... 

Just a quick update, pulled the light down and the bulb is completely covered by a circuit board with no obvious way to get it out 🤨

The bulb just twists out from behind, maybe yours is broken?  

Post a picture so we can see!  Same with the brake bulbs lol!

I’ll get a picture. I figured out the brake lights I think. The Titanium X and Zetec S have the led taillights so I need a 766 (I think) bulb, not a dual brake and tail light 380 bulb like I bought.
