t5kyo 0 Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 i had a side light bulb pop on me and when i came to replace it, it wasnt the 501 wedge bulb i thought it would be. Any ideas as to what it is and what i should be replacing it with? Cheers. (i) Link to post Share on other sites

Rikki 2 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Nope will be a w5w push fit on gti vr6 twin chambers.....dont know if it differs between early and late lights. The other type is for cl single chambers! Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 w5w is just another name for a 501 wedge capless bulb, t5kyo said it wasnt the 501 wedge type so can only be 233 ?? Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 hence i thought it may be easier if they post a pic of his bulb Link to post Share on other sites
t5kyo 0 Posted March 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 hi guys its the 233 bulb that i need. what threw me was the metal holder that it sits in. When i looked at the back of the light unit, alls i could see was a spade sticking out where the bulb should have been , but as i pulled it i found it was the holder! Sorry people, i feel abit thick now! Feel free to take the mick! HA HA Link to post Share on other sites
