Hi, I’m having fun finding lots of blown (or sometimes missing) bulbs in the centre console.

So looking for replacements, ideally with a little more brightness - LED alternatives? Does anyone have a list of the bulbs used in the centre console. From what I can see:

  • tiny bulb housed in the rear switch connector,  capless type
  • slightly bigger bulb used on the light switch (in a carrier that clips under the switch), capless type
  • bigger bulb, bayonet type, that illuminates the heater controls
  • single bulb that is powering the fibre optic lines, bayonet type

thanks

Terry

the list is in the owners manual and the service manual as well IIRC. If you don't have any, we have a look. 

I had played also with different bulbs and colors... it didn't look proper to the age of the car for my liking. As LEDs are more troublesome with the right color and brightness I didn't tried it at all

Thanks Don you were right, I was looking in the wrong section. 🙂

Like you I’ve ordered a selection of led bulbs to see how it looks and I hope that with a brighter led bulb the fibre optics might shine just a little brighter!
