The bulb is hardly even candle-light in the back of my V6 2.5i Bongo. Is it straight forward buying a replacement from "Bongotowers" or am i looking at a non standard light in mine ???

Damn took photo to put on here and now i have forgotten how to get a photo to display :oops:

I'm sure this has come up, but of course I can't remember the answer.

No help at all, but its been bumped. :D

Do you mean the fluoresent one on the roof or the one on the passenger side rear pilar? There are two different types of bulbs for the roof lamp, both of which I believe are readily available from the club shop and other suppliers. Sometimes a poor connection can also result in dim output.

If it the one at the rear, it's a fairly standard 'festoon' bulb you can get from Halfords etc, but they're not the brightest of things at the best of times.

I wish i had the know how to fit an led light in mine....

My bongo had extra exterior and interior lights fitted when i bought it. Sadly my children broke the ones which were on the floor of the rear interior and now the exterior lights are starting to play up :(

I suppose a visit to an auto electrician would solve the prob, but would just love to have a go myself... :mrgreen:

there is no fitting as such

you remove plastic cover

pull out old bulb

plug led in were bulb was

test it as they are polarity sensative

stick it in place with double sided tape came with it

force the covers back up as its now a tight squeeze
