So i thought id show you guys how to change the glove box bulb for a nice w5w 501 smd bulb, i used one with 12 smds.

Items needed:
Blunt knife of plastic lever
New bulb

So this firstly, how the light switch works, when the pin is extended the light comes on, when the pin is pushed in, the light goes off.

The first step is to use a blunt table knife or other tool to lift down the light from the rear a

Philips X-treme Vision H7 bulb x4.

I fitted these for about a week and then changed them to some other bulbs.

Looking for £30 posted paid as gift. (these can sale for £15 per bulb).

One of the tubs broke when opening hence why one is in a different box.

Some pics fitted (fitted in drivers side)

Hi all,

Just turned the car on today and it showed a message on the display saying "check License Plate Bulb". I changed the bulbs to the led ones a few weeks back but have never seen this message before. Anyone know what it's about? Both still work

Hi so ive upgraded my tail lights to LED works fine tail light are not on the Canbus however the reverse bulb is and its causing an error does anyone know if there are any plug and play resistor kits for this part of the lighting system as it has a different connector and the bulb is the offset type i cannot see any. I dont want to be cutting wiring and i am using a canbus error but its not pulling enough power clearly thanks.

Hi all,
I was just wondering if anyone knows if the bulb holder for the sidelight/drl is the same in both gtc and 5 door headlights?
I know the bulb fitment 7443 is the same but is the holder itself interchangeable? (correct diameter and holding mechanism)
I have had an issue with one of my drl bulb holders and need to replace it preferably without changing the whole headlight. I have tried to find photos of the gtc lights but can only find photos of the 5 door.

Thanks for your help,
Step

Okay so I purchased a set of these for my GTC and they worked 100%, no errors thrown up at all.

However after my dad seen them on my car he asked if he could have a set installed on his mk6 5 door, the car has thrown up errors for both sides, does the 5 door need resisitors in order for them to not throw up any errors?

Any

Hi all, my glove box bulb stopped working last night and I've replaced the bulb but still isn't working...... does it share the fuse with something else as everything seems to be working fine ...... if someone could point me in the right direction as too which fuse box to look in that would be great

Hi, upgraded to led DRLs, (2l GTC SRI 3D 63 plate) which aren't working. Is it possible that I may have put the plastic bulb holder in the wrong way or will it only go in one way, if you get my drift.? Not with car atm so will try after work, just thought Id ask before I knacked them trying.
Thanks in advance

So i have bought a new GTC, it came with no led rear lens, so got the dealer to order and fit them. Now he says it throws up rear bulb light failure display on the dash. Pressing the button on the steering wheel stalk turns of the issue warnings. can live with that , but is there a way to eliminate this, a guy told me you can go into the ecu and change the settings in the codes menu.

Just been out to check the AFL on my astra (had it a month but never been out in the dark ;-) )

Everything seemed to work AOK apart from the fact the main Beam Assist does not work as quick as I can do on my own (a few people flashed me :-( )  No worries on that score.

When I got back I had a look at the lights and found that one of them was not "on".  I is on the nearside.

It is the one nearest the grill - I have tried to attach a JPEG (only 228KB) but it will not let me
