Not sure what the technical term for the light is, but it's one of the lights that shines on your rear number plate. There are 2 of 'em and I noticed the other night that one of mine has stopped working. So you can only really see half of my number plate clearly at night, which I expect is rather illegal. Dunno.

But yeah, does anyone know where I could get one of these? I don't think I've ever seen one on ebay in my life, and just had a look now and there aren't any on there. I'm a bit stuck as to where to look really. Any ideas?

Cheers

whilst you have it out, clean the connections on the terminals, very prone to corrosion and they stopped working on my ph1 due to corrosion, a good clean up and some vaseline sorted it

roger has it right, for burns. minor burns thou caused by solder splashes.

you should never put vaseline on major burns because it holds in the heat.

The treatment for minor burns shouldn't be any different. The only thing First Aiders do use vaseline for is chaffing at sporting/walking/running events.
