Maplins do all sorts. Tried there? VW Commercial have a few too.

[fergie1]

yeah tried maplins..they dont do them...ive tried vw main dealer and no luck with them
but i did manage to get hold of some from t25 direct.com

Cant see anything on there, I need a full beam bulb and have struggled to find one.

[CovKid]

Well the full beam bulb is just a 12v bulb popped into a dark blue plastic shell. Most seem to swap it for an LED and resistor now as it lasts longer.

brickwerks do the clear bulb with a blue cap for about £6
i got whole set from t25 direct.just waiting for delivery

[MattBW]

Ahh found them on brickworks, the £10 postage encouraged me to order a few things

Howdy,
Does the main beam indicator bulb blow regularly?
My mainbeam works fine, just no dash warning light!

Well its a tungsten bulb, not an LED so its lifespan is not as great. I can't see the point in fitting the same (at greater cost) when LEDs outlast tungsten by many, many years and are so cheap now. VW didn't fit a blue LED because blue ones didn't exist then, simple as that. Chances are, yes its blown.

Cheers
Will investigate led option i think
