Very easy to do. Remove radio, and reach behind the climate controls, you'll find two black sockets you can rotate and pull out.
The bulb is a TSD 74, a 286 is the same, you just need to transfer the orange sleeve onto the new bulb.

Hope this helps someone, I couldn't find what bulb I needed online until I checked myself, I also didn't know if the climate controls needed to be...

Or may the 0.7's (L880) radiator be fitted? Does at least anyone know the OEM part no. for this thing?

These guys have an account with Daihatsu (UK) and can help find and order spares.
The workshop has experience with Copen repairs.
I found them very helpful when looking for a clutch cable.

However, looking on ebay this number says it for the L880k (660cc) and I thought it is a different cable.

I bought a Copen not too long ago and I was wondering where everyone gets their parts? (wheels, exhausts, suspension, anything at all to be honest.) I can't to find much if anything in EU. (I live in Ireland.)

Thanks for any responses in advance.

for specifics, the car i'm looking at is a 2006 vivid 659cc manual, it's yellow and i am hopelessly in love with it, even though it'll probably go before i can get it, i'll be looking for the same model because of how much i love it]]> 7 Wed, 24 Jun 2026 15:00:00 +0000 https://www.copenworld.com/community/threads/right-headlight-bulb-failure-again-electrical-fault.5705/ https://www.copenworld.com/community/threads/right-headlight-bulb-failure-again-electrical-fault.5705/ invalid@example.com (technik21) technik21
A couple on months ago the Copen (1.3) went in for its MOT knowing the right headlight bulb had failed and took the mechanics' offer to replace it whilst the car was in.

Both headlight bulbs (in fact all front bulbs) were replaced with Bosch units to save the hassle of changing them too soon again. The garage made a pig's ear of it and said he had to remove the front bumper, which ended up with broken clips, missing bolts and mis alignment of the refitted bumper!

A week later...

My wife took her 2008 1.3 Copen in to Halfords for an air con check as there was no ice cool air coming out.
They re-gassed it and all was well for about a week, when we noticed the cold air was not ice cool again.
I suspected they just recharged the system without actually checking for leaks, so took the car back and explained. They apologised and did a free check and the diagnosis was....
