I have a 1998 MGF. Two of the bulbs appear to have gone in the high level brake unit, i believe these can replaced but my searches on what type the bulbs are have come up with no answers. can anybody help please?
Thanks

Re: High Level Brake Light Bulbs
The details should be in the Handbook, but don't seem to be. However, I have a 'Ring' Application guide which lists the bulbs as R504, which is a push fit 3w bulb. You would also have the alternative of the R501, which is the same fitting, but a 5w bulb.

Re: High Level Brake Light Bulbs
pop one out & take it to a local parts shop & they'll sort out the right bulbs for you.
or
From memory it's a T5 12v 5w capless bulb. I could be wrong though

Re: High Level Brake Light Bulbs
I changed mine a couple of years ago, when you remove the Hella unit the centre screw has a plastic security seal on it which has to be removed. The replacements I managed to source were Lucas 12v 2.3w capless LLB284. Hope this helps.
