Rear Number plate lights

Recommended Posts

Both of my number plate lights on the rear of my C do not work.

Q1 Are they in series or parallel i.e. will one work when the other one is blown?

Q2 What fuse are they fead from and what else is fead from that fuse?

 

Q3 Are the bulbs a VAG item or do Halfords do them?

Cheers in advance

1) parallel - they're both 12V bulbs, so one will work if one blows

2) no idea, probably marked on the fuse box cover though

3) I know you can get 'em from Halfords, but I can't for the life of me remember what they look like... undo the 2 screws and remove the light holder and you'll be able to get at the bulbs to see what they are... 8)

Both stopped working on mine... took cover to see what was going on and found that one of the wires had come loose.. quick bit of re-soldering and it was fixed...

 

Good luck

If its any help the live wire is grey and red i think.Check to see if you have power at the bulb cos it could be a broken wire somewhere down the line
