I wanted to try and fit a brighter reversing bulb for my SEAT Leon FR TSI 1.4 2018.
I was pointed to ABD.com, entered my registration, and this identified that I needed a H21W (425) Bayonet LED bulb.
When it arrived I try to fit it, but it appears that my current lightbulb is a completely different fit (see photo) - a thin connector, not bayonet.

I looked in the owners manual, and it suggested I needed a P21W LL, which also looks to be bayonet fitting.

Huh? Is there some reason why mine is different?

I should say that this is UK spec - right hand drive. The reversing light is on the rear-left, at the bottom of the boot lid.

Thanks - first I'd heard of pre/post facelift versions. So a facelift happened, they changed some stuff, but didn't update the manual? What else could be wrong in my manual I should know about?!
