Hi

RE: 57 plate Cooper D

Can anyone tell me the correct type of bulb for the rear tail/brake light. The manual says 21/5w but I have two 21w single filament bulbs in one cluster and two 21/5w bulbs in the other cluster.

I called my local mini dealer and he was confused. According to his data the bulb holder should determine the type of bulb. He said my car should have bulb holder part # 63 21 2 756 179 and that suggests the single filament 21w bulb.
Any advise welcome.
Cheers
