Hi all - is there a list available of all the bulbs needed for a Bongo? I'm specifically looking for the rear light bulb (the one in the rear door, as opposed to the one in the cluster).
Thanks

They vary with age, the earlier versions and some more recent versions that I have been able to verify are listed here

Probably a good idea to pop the old one out and bring it with you to wherever you're buying. There are probably some LED options for those now too!

LED bulbs are not legal for external use as they are not e marked so can lead to vehicle rectification notices etc

I'm not being a pedant but that may apply in the UK. I'm in Ireland and they aren't an NCT fail here so long as the direction and beam is alright. Happy to be corrected if wrong though. And, look, let's be honest here, LEDs for the reg light are hardly going to invalidate anything either way.
