MK6 Number Plate Light

[transit mark]

I bought a van today and both number plate lights dont work. I have been told that i cant replace the bulbs and that they need to be replaced as a complete unit. Is this true?

Was his name billy bull shite : get a small screw driver and leaver the cover off they take 5w wedge bulbs

[Beegly]

if they dont work with new bulbs, there may be a broken wire inside the back door

I was thinking i could change bulbs and the guy was talking out his arse lol. Ill pop the pannel of the inside of the door and change the bulbs and then go from there.

Nice to know i can come here and get the right answer.

bulbs are fitted from the outside.

The covers prise off from the outside but you may want to remove the interior panel to see if you have 12v at the wiring plug

put a couple of sealed led units in place of originals fit and forget

Got the covers off and one bulb was missing and one not working. Replaced them both and they work.
