Hi all,,

anyone know where to get the tiny "twist lock bulbs" needed for inside the dash switches?

Thanks

Derek.

Tried some of the flat base bulbs from here........................

Dashboard & Panel Bulbs 12V

but found the bases didn't quite fit into our switches so got some of these

Coloured Subminiature Bulbs : Small Bulbs & Lamps : Maplin

and reused the original bases.

Have a look at this place - a good supplier of coloured bulb kits which may be what you're after.

Don, this one; R509TYBK 1.4w T5 14V 1.4W Indicator & Panel Bulb Black Base, looks very similar to the ones ime looking for ,to suit the headlight washer switch and bright switch, were they the bulbs u tried to replace?

Funny - but the same switches (washer and bright) need bulbs on my car...

I originally tried R509TJBR but the base was slightly too large in diameter.

I R509TYBK "may" be alright but is slightly taller and may not fit all required applications.

I'm doing the same thing on mine. Maplins have the right size bulbs and in different colours. Fiddly bit is getting the bulb wire wrapped around the plastic holder. If you've got big fingers it could be tricky though.
