Do the bulbs not just pull out from underneath?

Yes, you can fit an LED in place of the bulb, but it would probably have to be soldered in, and you would have to either find a 12v LED (in blue) or fit a series resistor with a non 12v LED.

Just to add to the confusion, early Spada and LM2 used wedge bulbs LOL


Yep -

‘Tell-tales’ mandatory for lighting equipment

(This section is repeated in the Instrument Panel checks page)

Presence, condition and operation

The Tester will inspect the following lighting ‘tell-tales’:

    headlamp main beam
    direction indicators
    hazard warning lamps
    rear fog lamps

A main beam ‘tell-tale’ is only required on vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986. Class 3 vehicles don’t need to have the main-beam tell-tale inspected.
