Funny this, as I had a license plate bulb failure (Neither worked), so the night it happened, night before going on holiday - I fitted one of the fab replacement PCB's !
Guess what ?
No workie - FAB !
Had to mess about with contacts and festoon pinch pieces as well as the riveted sections to the board itself, this was an improved part fresh from supplier !

So the moral of the story is - check everything, when checking rear lamps on a saloon, it is easier if both bulb holders are removed from the lamp unit and you will soon spot the bulb not working when you spot the substituted filament glowing instead of the proper one working.

The benefits of the highline IPK become very useful for this process of find the odd one out !
