Buying Electrical Bulb & Socket Parts for a 1975 MG Midget

On this vehicle, the bulb and socket system covers every bulb and socket on the vehicle, from headlamps to instrument-cluster illumination.

  • Confirm you have the 1.5L L4 engine — every part on this page is matched to it.
  • Read the notes on each row for position, trim and spec qualifiers before you order.
  • Where labor overlaps, replace bulbs in pairs so both sides age together, and put a smear of dielectric grease on the new socket contacts.
  • Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against your old part or a service-manual listing.

Start with the largest groups on this page: Tail Lamp Bulb and Brake Light Bulb .

Frequently Asked Questions

How many electrical bulb & socket parts fit the 1975 MG Midget?

Our catalog currently lists 71 electrical bulb & socket parts for the 1975 MG Midget across 10 subcategories and 5 brands, covering the 1.5L L4 engine. Each part is matched to the engine(s) it fits.

What are the signs of electrical bulb & socket problems on a 1975 MG Midget?

Common symptoms include a lamp that flickers over bumps, melted or discolored socket plastic, or bulbs that keep failing early on one side. If you notice any of these, identify the affected subcategory above and cross-reference the part numbers listed.

What should I replace at the same time?

Where labor overlaps, replace bulbs in pairs so both sides age together, and put a smear of dielectric grease on the new socket contacts.

What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?

They show the market for which the manufacturer published application data for that part — where the vehicle was first sold, not where the part was made. If your 1975 MG Midget was originally sold in the US, the safest choice is a part marked for the US market.

How do I make sure a part fits my 1975 MG Midget?

Every part on this page is matched to the 1.5L L4 engine. Then repeated bulb failure in one position usually means a socket or ground problem, not bad bulbs — replace the socket rather than chase it. The notes column carries position and trim qualifiers where they apply.
