Parker's and number plate globes are often just a shit connection. Remove and refit the globe.

Yeah thanks for the advice, you would assume if it was a bad connection it would either work all the time or not work all the time but i will try connecting the bulb before replacing it.

Cheers

Not really, the small wedge globes are a bit of a loose fit. Before replacing them I always hit the light and see if it works.

PS. If the glass looks burnt then the globe is on its way out, replace it whilst it's already out.

Was just browsing eBay for LED indicators and came across these:

They're a T20 wedge, but in terms of size is 27 too big?
