Hey guys, so sister has a 62plate 1.2 TSI Ibiza, I noticed the bulb is gone and since I only can collar her for a day or less I want to check everything whilst I can so anyone tell me:

1) What number fuse it is and if it's under bonnet or inside car

2) What type of license plate bulb do these cars use.

3) Incae in being daft is there a specific way to turn on the license plate blub? Or is it just turn on lights and it should come on automatically.

Thanks in advance.

After running into this issue, the Licence plate lights are on Fuse 17 under the steering wheel (on mine bottom left - https://www.seatcupra.net/forums/th...diagrams-under-drivers-steering-wheel.466919/)

This is a 5 amp fuse and when the lights are on then the Licence plate lights should automatically illuminate.

One thing I found is that when the fuse was blown, once the lights are on the lights behind the light switch will not illuminate.
