## Description

Philips LongerLife replacement mini bulbs are for drivers who want the best value for their money. Thanks to their filament design and gas fill mixture, these LongerLife miniature bulbs last longer than standard incandescent miniature bulbs.

Review: Perfect fit bulb - This is a perfect fit for a C230 compressor rear turn light. Interestingly enough it has a very tricky fit and regular bulb will not go in. The seller is great because he mentioned that so you can be sure it will fit.
Review: Great quality at a great price - I have a 2007 VW Beetle and had the tail light go out on me. This was the best price on a replacement bulb and so I ordered it. Shipping was fast and the bulb and packaging was outstanding. In a matter of a few minutes, I was back on the road again and no longer worried about getting an expensive ticket for my inoperative tail light.
