hi hope this is an easy one, got a dash bulb out, speedo one, took out the bulb/holder but was wondering is it a standard bulb that comes with the plastic holder? mine fell to bits when i took it out, has it a type number, if so what is it? i dont mean the actual bit that holds the bulb in the dash just the bit you twist out. cheers in advance

Have a look at Brickwerks' shop. I recall getting two types in as I had loads bust. I think the cheaper GSF stuff breaks too easily so worth the postage.

If you're going to buy them from JK give them a ring, they should be able to do you a more realistic rate over the phone ... well they did for me on an exhaust gasket.

Also seen LED types on ebay from time to time. On mine I soldered LEDS into place and fitted a suitable resistor, but then theres no reason why you can't ignore the old bulb fittings altogether I guess and just run a few leds where you want them, on their own circuit.
