Hey folks,

Whilst I’ve my dash in bits attempting (in vain) to sort the Hevac unit I thought I’d look at replacing a few bulbs which were out.

ive managed to do all of them but I’m struggling with this which is from a fog light switch.

Do any of you know if you can get these or do I just need to replace the switch ?

Thanks again

Bob

Kermit had my last one. Rimmer Bros might have them.
 
Island have the bulbs for 8.14 +VAT

maybe there’s a business opportunity in buying the switches for £10 and removing the two bulbs to flog fur £10 each !

Marty converted all his to LED. They look good.

You can get LEDs that take the voltage both ways but not sure if you can get them that small.

I was told on here that leds are dimmable as well ,,led in theory will last longer , ,theres nowt worse than 2 days after screwing the dash back together one bulb goes out again..:mad:...like on the hevac....:rolleyes:
 
We don’t mention the hevac....
Actually, that said, I’ve got it almost working perfectly except for the second digit on the RHS -not sure I can bring myself to open it all up again...
