Hi all.

I have the Focus mk3 zetec 2011

and the license plate bulb has stopped working.

I have called gkford parts and they reckon i have to buy the entire boot release switch etc at a cose of £32

i have enloses a picture of the rubber sealed catch and would like to ask anyone if this is true or can the bulb just be replaced.

dont really want to fork out £32 for all that when its just the damn bulb, pretty expensive bulb.

or does anyone know if there is any online spares shop etc.

thanks all
