Hi. My reverse bulb has gone, I have a Leon FR 2015.
When I put into my reg on eurocar parts there is an option to buy a bulb which looks like this.


Is this a reverse bulb?
Are there any instructions on how to fit?

Yes, this is the correct bulb for a pre-face lift Leon - 382 (P21W).

There is a plastic cover on the inner panel on the boot lid that slides towards the outer edge. You then unclip the bulb holder, 2 x tabs, and pull through the aperture where the plastic cover was. Bulb will twist out like a bayonet lightbulb in your home.

The instructions are in the owners manual.

Many people swap the filament bulb for a brighter LED version. Costs a little more, but significantly improves visibility on pre-FL cars (FL cars have a smaller bulb for some reason 🤷🏻).

If you don’t have the hard copy manual, you can down load electronic version here:
