Hi

There's a message on my dash saying the rear right brake light is out. I'm assuming it needs a new bulb. Without taking the light cluster apart - can anyone tell me what sort of bulb I need to order and who might stock one?

Many thanks

Not sure which one but it will be a 12v 380 or a 382.
Any motor parts place will have them....

I tried a 382 but it had two filaments so must be a 380. I found one in my spare bulb kit. I had a bit of trouble getting the light cluster off until I worked out that some minor fettling at the end nearest the front of the car reveals to metal lugs that fit into rubber females. These can be removed by careful manipulation.
