It's just a wegde-bulb... Not sure on the name of the size, but the bulb part is rather large.

Might want to put a multimeter onto the socket to test for power?

Hey RANDY,

I just checked the socket. Getting a good reading, 12.5v +.

So what type of bulb? How many watts?

Did i mention..... I LOVE THIS FORUM !!! It goes off :PBJ:

Ermm... i'll get back to you tomorrow... or tonight if I go downstairs for a smoke, and i'm able to yank it out without burning my fingers.

But really, as long as the wedge part fits, and it's a 12v globe, it will light up. I bought my car with no globe, so what I come back to you with will just be what I have decided to run.

I will be changing to a white neon or fluro stick in the near future. The globe assembly doesn't give off much light, even at higher wattages.

Ok, let me just start by saying, I'M AN IDIOT !!!

The bulb i just put in works fine. I guess last time i tried it was after i'd finished pulling my dash out, and had my interior light swutched 'OFF'. It never occured to me that this switched my boot light off aswell. I guess that's what happened anyway. Do'h !!!

Anyways, all good now.

Still think i'll end up going with a Fluro in the boot.

Thanks again Randy.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
