S1 rear lamp bulb holder

[GordonMasson]

Hi all,

I need to get my S1 MOT'd and it has failed on a rear light fault.

The bulb holders in the unit are corroded and one has been melted slightly. All lamp holders in the unit look to be the same.

They are marked 98.0002.775.  any ideas where I could get them or has anyone fitted an alternative?

The complete lighting cluster ... (which is ok although the silver paint is a bit worn) is Fiat X1/9 and has the part number Carello 12.217.748 (Made in Italy)

Thanks

Gordon

There's a LH rear housing (less lenses) on eBay for £20 at the moment if that's any help, item # 113049425215. Or a pair for £33, item # 222981315201 .

You don't need an MOT Gordon! Obviously you need to fix your lamp though.

MOT and roadworthiness are the same to me... easier to check with an MOT
