Funny Basic Question About Bulbs

So I have a Disco 1 R reg that has been parked up now for a while (years). Bulbs from the rear clusters have been removed to stop corrosion.

Just wondering now which bulbs actually go in them It's been a while lol.

I have 382's and 335's as well as 501's for sidelights. not sure what the rear accepts as the brake light is combined with the sidelight on mine

I don't have lights in the bumper as I removed these and changed the relay shortly after purchasing it.

Cheers!

Have a look in your Haynes manual !!

Erm.. Bulbs is what grows in ya garden

They is lamps what goes in ya car,

Well that's what they always tell me at work lol

If you look down inside the bulb holder you'll see the main contact(s).
If there's just one contact then it's either the rear fog light, indicator or reversing light; they're all are single filament 21 watt bulbs.

If there are two contacts at the bottom of the bulb holder then it's the combined stop/tail light, a twin filament 5/21 watt bulb. The stop/tail bulb has securing pins at different depths so that the bulb can only be inserted one way.

I don't suppose you know the lamp D) code?

Rear lights
Stop/tail: 380 - 5/21 watt twin filament
Rear fog: 382 - 21 watt single filament
Reversing: 382 - 21 watt single filament
Indicator: 382 - 21 watt single filament (white bulb with a yellow lens)
High level brake: 382 - 21 watt single filament

Front side lights: 501 capless wedge - 6 watt

This all assumes that you have the standard fittings and you haven't done any mods such as LEDs.
