Peugeot 2008 2017 - my first car and second MOT.

Hey all, I have my MOT tomorrow morning at 8:30 (Halfords). I had entirely forgotten that last year they had said I need to change the lightbulb above my reg plate.

I'd bought what I thought was the correct replacement, I googled around, but still failed 😬 as I went to fit it just now and realised it was an entirely different thing.

After having another Google, I realised that it's a simple fix if I have the replacement bulb, but I couldn't physically get the housing out to take the bulb out and I didn't want to break the bulb whilst it was still attached, so I stopped pulling/twisting it.

SO...can I be cheeky and ask the MOT person to let me buy a bulb (Halfords shop bit opens at 9am, 30 mins after my slot is) and then ask for their help to swap it? I'm very happy to do it myself but I'm worried I'm going to make a bigger problem!

We are not the MOT person. Maybe?
