Is it a 21W/5W combination bulb?
Also, is it easy to fit?
Many thanks.

He'll be home soon so I can get the duff one out and check before we open the new one. Looks the same though.
And @Westy36 - thanks. I had been watching that video earlier and it made me realise it's a dual filament bulb. That save a wasted day trying to fit the wrong one.

That's a standard side light/ brake light bulb. Bayonet fitting. You will see that the bayonet fittings are set at different "heights"on the body so make sure you put it into the bulb holder the correct way round.

Not a bayonet actually. It's a push in bulb and can be inserted either way round.
Made the lad do it himself so he knows how to do it next time. Teach a man to fish and all that.

Didn't realize that they made double filament capless bulbs.
Just goes to show how long ago it is since I last bought one, and now I have the Crosstar, all the lights are led except for the rear coloured trafficators, and sods law says they are the only ones I don't have.

I told him he must be braking too much :D

Forgot to say, this strategy worked. Made him do it last time, did it himself outside Halfords this time. I taught him to fish!
I know replacing a rear bulb on a Jazz Mk1 doesn't make him (or me) a mechanic, but it's a start. He even managed to replace the battery on his partner's Peugeot 208 last week when Halford's couldn't do it! The power of Youtube.
