What size bulbs ?

whoolyback · 12th January 2010, 04:15 PM

Spotted this morning that a rear number plate bulb had gone, anybody know off hand what they are.....or might think about LED's what do I get ?? actually while I'm here silvertec or silvervision indicator's which are better??
Oh bugger save me asking later...what about upgrading the interior bulbs to LED's what should I get....please enLIGHTen me

I know that was terrible but it gave me chance to use that smiley
