Warning popped up about rear brake bulbs so time to replace.

Is there a preference for these? Should I buy led?

Thanks

The list of problems I've had to fix is growing pretty fast. So much for trusting a "forum car" :headbang:

There are a few - pain in the arse last time!

This is what I went with but double check this is what youโ€™re after VS whatโ€™s blown. Itโ€™s a dual prong twist out bulb - Halfords 435 H21W
