Just about any autofactor from Halfords and above, I believe. Bog standard bulbs but a PITA to get to :(

thank you catman! yes it was PITA to get to! only way to get to is by removing the back seats. to replace a bulb that is not even half an inch.. anyway - now i learned how to remove the back seats. :)

If you mean the ones in the boot, I wouldn't be at all surprised. They are, after all, basically a coil making heat :)

there was a lot of dust and actually some tiny bits of what can only be described as white bits confetti in the bit in front of the 3rd brake light... anyway its going to be clean now!
