Can someone please recommend the correct bulb for my left rear brake light
The warning came on today
It seems very easy to change and I've looked at the Halfords & Design 911 site but I can't seem to find the correct one
Thanks in advance

Assuming this is a Gen 1 car then I think it's a standard twin filament 21/5w bulb. Can't you take it out and have a look at what's stamped on it?

Thanks tscaptain (yes gen 1)
I have just removed it and it says 21/4w
I have a 21/5w can I use that or do I have to have the 4w?
 
It would probably be better to have two the same, either 4 or 5w, or one side light will be a bit brighter than the other! Depends how OCD you are![;)]
 
Bayonets on the bulb are staggered for correct fitting, but it's still possible to fit them incorrectly, which means you end up with a 21w taillight and a 4w stoplight. So get someone to help you check them before you drive off.

Regards,

Clive.
