Reversing Light Bulb
Does anyone know the fitting size for this?
I know that it is 12v 16W bayonet. But iirc the bayonet size is smaller and I do not want to open the cluster just to check the physical size before I visit Halfrauds or a stealership to buy a bulb.

 http://www.ebay.it/itm/121327400104 I think it comes with a plastic base and in a metal bulb holder - BUT I *think* it is a T15 bulb stuck in a bulb holder and you get the bulb holder with it, but not sure. The Audi P/Ns are: pre-facelift 4E0945981 bulb with black socket facelift 4E0945981A bulb with grey socket for back-up light 12V16W Probably the same part anyway?

Ray, I've deleted my previous comment as now I think the only replacement is to buy part 4E0945981, that Snap posted, from the Sealership.

Matt, Thanks for the reply that I did not manage to see, deleted before I returned home, now I'll be losing sleep wondering about what piece of smart wit I missed
 Snap, Thanks for the informative reply, ebay page from Italy, advertiser in Herefordshire and he appears to be working for Deutscheparts. End result is that it could be a T15 holder. The reason for this is that I want to replace my "going backwards" lights with LEDs, but I believe that they are canbus monitored (unless someone knows better) and I will have to run incandescent bulbs in parallel like as wot I aff dunn with my sidelights. I'm looking at CRE LEDs for their light output. My current Audi issued lamps are a bit dull.

Thanks for that Matt.
Having been out on a couple of jobs since has given me time to collect my memory. I think that T15 is the capless type of bulb like the sidelight. I am sure the reverse and brake lamps are bayonet. I'll try and find time tomorrow to look at the assortment that Halfrauds carry and see if they have something similar.
