[Red Panda]

That's not bad is it...I'll get a pair this week. That price is for two?

Edit, just looked on Halford's website they're in a pack of two for £9.99

I went for ebay specials, from the uk. Heres hoping they last cause its not a job I want to be doing often. They have a 1 year garuntee so heres hoping they are reliable enough and not shite

Changing them is a 2 minute job, once you've done one it's easy peasy lemon squeazy!!

Different story when the whole light fitting decides to come free and go inside the rear bumper, meaning a bumper off job, typical it was the 2nd one after Id done the first one ok. Superglued in place now though so heres hoping its nae moving

I don't think you need canbus on an ibiza, they don't have any bulb blown warning lights! haha

did you turn them 180 ?

 

[bananaskin]

Yeah I did. I don't think they were a 100% perfect fit though

you'll need 36/38mm festoon led...make sure you get a pair with glass casing (like a normal bulb) as a lot of water get chucked up at the reg lights and the 'cheap' design ones will blow quickly.

here's what i have: *bay #300593420393 or #330549696635

difference is either 4 or 6 led bulbs, but these will last longer and WILL work. no need for canbus on the mk4's

You don;t need canbus bulbs on a MK4, but if you use them, they wont stay slightly lit, and will last a lot longer

basically I bought bulbs that disagree with everyone and they still work after 15 months (Y)

my new leds

a quick comparison
as you can see, new on the left is bright white, old one is orange/yellow
(yes i know it needs a clean)

Hi
I have recently bought an ibiza 2004 FR. My first car and I've no clue on any car DIY. I tried changing the number plate bulbs but couldn't manage to take the sense out. In fact, I think I have broke and pushed the clip into the bumper.

Cn anyone help or show me how to change the bulb. I tried doing what it says on this forum but I just ended up breaking the clip

Thanks
