Hi guys
Really struggling to find the replacement bulb for the main beam on the dashboard. I know it’s actually a clear bulb with a blue filter but can’t seem to find a stockist. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers

They are actually a grain of wheat bulb, used a lot by model makers.

Try Brickwerks. A few years ago but that's where I got mine (MOT failure).

I have one, not new but working. If you PM me your address can post it to you (free).
Alternatively and for future reference if the bulb proves difficult to get, you could buy a 12v 3mm LED (blue or white) which should fit into the blue main beam cap. LED's are polarity sensitive so you might have to reverse it in the socket if it fails to illuminate first time around.

I found the weeny faded blue filtered bulb not particularly attention seeking - why are people flashing their headlights at me? So I changed it for a flashing 12V LED from Maplin.
(sorry to see Maplin go as I cannot realize my hair brained schemes on a same day basis and sometimes lose focus if I have to wait for bits.
