A car bulb is the light source inside a lamp — headlight, sidelight, indicator or brake light. Bulbs differ in fitting and wattage, and the wrong one will not sit properly. Call 07961 404768 with your registration number and we will check which bulbs fit your car.
What car bulbs do
Every lamp on a car has a bulb inside it, and each one has a job. Headlight bulbs light the road ahead. Sidelight bulbs mark the car at night. Indicator bulbs flash to show a turn. Brake light bulbs glow when you brake. Tail light bulbs mark the back of the car. A bulb that has gone can look like a fault in the lamp itself.
Bulbs differ in fitting and wattage. Two bulbs can look alike and still have different fittings, and a bulb with the wrong wattage can be too dim or too hot for the lamp. Which bulb a lamp takes is set by the car, and it is usually printed on the old bulb itself.
How to find the right car bulbs
Bulbs are matched to the car and to the lamp, so the make, model, year and body shape all matter — and so does which lamp the bulb is for. Your registration is the fastest way to check your body and lighting parts. Or tell us the make, model, year and body shape. Tell us which lamp has gone as well. If you have the old bulb, the fitting is usually printed on its base.
If a headlight has gone dim rather than gone out, the bulb is the first part to check — but so is the headlight unit. The headlight page below explains the difference between a bulb and a complete unit.

Bulbs sit inside the headlight units and the other lamps. If the unit itself is damaged, a new bulb will not fix it — the headlight page below explains when a complete unit is what you need.

Frequently asked questions
Bulbs are matched to the car, so the make, model, year and body shape all matter, and so does which lamp the bulb is for — headlight, sidelight, indicator or brake light. Your registration number is the fastest way to check. Call 07961 404768 or message us on WhatsApp and we will check which bulbs fit before you order.
A bulb is the light that sits inside the lamp, and a headlight unit is the whole front lamp — lens, reflector and housing together. If only the light has gone, a bulb is usually what you need. If the lamp itself is cracked or broken, the whole unit is what you need.
A bulb with the wrong wattage can be too hot for the lamp or too dim to see by, and it can also fail the car's electrical checks. Which bulb your headlights take is set by the car — call 07961 404768 with your registration and we will check fitment.
Bulbs can blow more often if the lamp has a poor connection, if the car has a voltage problem, or if the bulbs are being touched with bare hands when they are fitted. If your bulbs keep going, tell us what is happening and we will point you at the bulbs.
