Not heard of a bulb blowing before dude, what's more common is that when the ABS develops a problem, people disconnect the light to stop it illuminating... it is obviously an MoT failure.

I hope for your sake it's just the bulb mate.

my ABS light went 2 months ago. I went to stevens dismantlers where theyve got sh!t loads abs light unit for 10 quid. To check if it is the bulb take the unit out and if the bulb is silver/black, then its gone.

Any small 12V light bulb will do really.  Mine's got one from a fruit machine in it  :laugh:  Since some nice man removed it in the past. :smiley:
