How to replace S211 reverse light

[Jack93]

Hi Everyone

I have an E280 Cdi 2008

I need to replace the reverse lamp, is it like the brake and indicator light or is it a single bulb?

I assume to replace I need to remove boot door trim?

Thank you

I guess there will be a need for resistors? Is that yours?

Why?
As you have found with trying to "upgrade" the internal lights it isn't straightforward.

No that's pops old i40 , here's my S204 .







Neither of us needed resistors , but my bulbs didn't work in a Corsa D I had bought for my niece .
