Dash/ Instrument cluster lights

One of the bulbs in the tell tale (left) indicator in the dash has gone/blown.

Any idea if you can get the bulbs from halfrauds etc or are they bespoke (read old and special design not used anymore) in their design?

Cheers Again!

probably pretty standard , my local spares shop stocks all sorts, not just HID and LED's.

its a push in spade type bulb

they look to be

501 12volt W5W or 12 volt 505 which is a 3 watt

wedge panel bulb

practically universal bulb numbering system so halfords should have em

try to get a low wattage as they will and do melt the plastic coloured domes inside the instrument cluster.

i.e a side light or running light bulb in 5- 10 watt looks the same. fits in the same holder but gives out much more heat

if you have no coloured domes you could go with LEDS or paint the bulbs in decorative bulb paint or normal candy

Dave,

My side marker lights use those bulbs and I got some on a card from my local motor parts shop, much cheaper than Halfords and usually one local to everyone,

Cheers Steve
