the best way is to cover the bulb bit with some sort of tape (packing tape is ideal) before pulling them with pliers ,. the tape absorbs the pressure and does not allow the bulb to break easy Wink

thats tonights top tip from schakal for you my son Laughing

Halfords do them with and without the caps, about another 50p for the capped ones - they end in T.

I found mine wern't actually the bulb, cleaned the contacts with a cotten bud and alcohol and they were away again.
