Where to get small bulbs.....

- the ones that light up the EAS switches when you put the night time lights on, and also light up the seat heater buttons, in a classic Range Rover VOGUE SE 1992 K Reg model. These are tiny bulbs, I have had to move a few around to make the air suspension bulbs light up as two were blown, now need to be able to see buttons at night. Have not had any luck in scrapyards as switches all seem to be gone, and breakers won't split the bulbs from the switches. Don't want to go to LR as will no doubt be a fortune. Thanks Ed ( be careful when buying in France.I have lost all my money, check out hideousfrance.com and avoid the country.

France is a great place to live, unfortunately it attracts tossers from the UK who think the country should adapt to them rather than the other way round, who think the French will understand English if they shout loud enough and are not content if they can't get fish n chips. Fortunately most bugger off after they find that the French will not put up with them, an example we could do well to follow in the UK with all the bloody imigrants who refuse to integrate and speak English.

I was going to tell you where to get lamps, but in view of your attitude you can feck off.

France, love the place, I spent over 6 weeks cycling through it, from North to South, then onwards to Corsica , etc, I still get to go over there once a year on the Motorcycle, they have a more positive attitude, ... on Sundays its like a ghost town in the rural areas, just how burry Sundays should be!.

Oh yes bulbs, be cheaper to go to stealers, rather than spending weeks looking

Thanks everyone for your help. @ Datatech - I did a French degree so I don't think your comments apply here. We were actually ripped off after agreeing to buy the house - before we moved in someone slapped up a factory in 2 months wikthout planning which has now ruined our house. I am hearing too much of this stuff.
@Paul thanks for your suggestion to stealers, may go as last resort.

I couldn't source any bulbs either and was told the whole switch had to be renewed!
So I removed the bulb and holder and soldered in a green "grain of rice" bulb, which are used in for model railways, fiddly to do but cheap with excellent results.

A degree is obviously no guarantee of understanding the way things work here. Just like the UK you need to research any intended purchase.

thanks Grange Grover, they look good, do they give a much greener light than the other bulbs. If so, I will probably do all three bulbs on the EAS buttons and then move the white bulbs to the seat heat buttons ..... and or keep one as spare. Thanks Ed @ hideousfrance . com

The bulbs are avalible online and at the dealers for less than £2. Britcar (UK) Ltd > STC1878 BULB & HOLDER GREEN DISCO/RRC (G)
