Brake bulbs

Hi guys,

Can someone tell me which bulb I need for a 1998 940 estate's brake light cluster? I ordered from eurocarparts and while it's double filament the pin height/offset is all wrong. I wish I had taken the bulb in when collecting.

I went with stop light but it's wrong.

Cheers

Martin

Screwfix sells which is a surpirse! I was going on the way home so this worked out well.

I normally get Lucas ones from the motor factors near me. Pretty sure they are about £1 each. I always get four and bung them in the glove box

If one side goes, i renew both sides. Simple reason being that they're probably a similar age so the other sdie won't be long and it also reduces the risk of getting two bulbs with slightly different resistances to the filaments that would bring the bulb failure warning light on.

Mine is on most of the time anyway, but that's another story............
