Chris123 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Does anyone know how to change the lightbulb on the number plate lamp, for a series IIA military land rover? (the type which can be rotated 180 degrees to hide the light) Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unscrew that and the bulb holder will come with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris123 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hmmm, my bulb holder seems to come out part way, but the bulb itself is too large to pass through the hole. Is it likely someone has fitted a bulb which is too large? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101sean Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Only thing I can think of is that someone took the whole fitting apart to put the bulb in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris123 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 That's what I'm thinking too, looks like I'll have to break the bulb and fish the bits out. Cheers for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 My sankey has the same light on it, as you look at the front of it (the bit that you turn to make the light aperture smaller) there are 3 small screws in a 120 degree pattern. just undo these and the whole top comes off.

Chris123 Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 aha! managed it, turns out there's a metal&rubber gromit type thing. Pull this out and the bulb comes through freely . No screwdrivers needed. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
