    Where does one buy bulbs? How does one know what bulbs to buy and how much do bulbs generally cost?

    I'm a bulb buying virgin:eek:

    Bulbs needed for 97 punto rear lights.

    Fill in your details on the left and it will tell you which size you need for each.

    I bought headlight bulbs there a few months ago, they threw in free sidelight bulbs as well!

    If it's brake lights you need your local service station would stock them. Alternatively just go into your local halfrauds and they'll fit them too

    Lidl regurlarly do bulb kits with head light, stop/ tail, indicator and side light bulbs and a few fuses for under a tenner. Handy to have in the boot of your car.

    Go on - give the gift of light this christmas, buy the one you love a set of bulbs for their car.

    Cheers guys,

    I assume they're handy enough to fit yourself? They're not break lights or anything.

    I would not bother buying these type bulbs online. They generally only cost a euro or two from a local motor factors. The cost of shipping alone would make it too expensive to buy them online imo.

    BTW you should be able to check the type of bulb required here: www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk.

    Alternatively just take out the blown bulb and bring it with you to the motor factors, replacing rear bulbs are a walk in the park compared to changing front bulbs on some cars.
