Howzit chaps...

I am looking for some recommendations to replace the mentioned items.

I called a dealership first. 400 smacks. Who will supply these in Cape Town for less?

Please dont say Midas...

Cheers

Various reasons - primarily: I am not too trusting of their ability to supply the right part first time round. Long story involving a corsa, an oil filter and a 5l castrol oil stripe on the tar.

Just take the bulb out and take it in. It's not exactly hard matching a bulb

There should just be a carpet cover over the light. Inside the boot. Pull that off. Unplug the light. And then remove the bulb holder. Should be fairly simple.

Nice photo log. Did you find it cheaper? Generally Midas should be able to help. Goldwagen can also assist.

I recently bought one from Audi dealership ...as they were closer to me...took in the sample and they supplied exactly same thing, think its Phillips brand that was on my reverse.. R38.00incl

I do find that the Midas bulbs have a very short life span and are prone to burning out quicly..my 2c:=):
