Either of the 286 or 288 will do the job they are both unmounted small capless bulbs if i remember right.

I have the same problem. Both lights behind the heater controls have now gone and am looking to replace them. I've read up on the internet that it's not an easy job but is possible. The only thing is that i'm unsure on what bulbs to buy as I've read up that they are "uncapped" and they can be replaced with coloured LEDs.

My ideal scenario would be to fit Blue LED's behind the heater control's and while the dashboard would be out to replace the bulbs in the speedo to blue LEDs.

My only doubt is on which ones will fit?

Please if anyone knows any places/websites where I can get the replacment bulbs/LEDs from that would be great!


Thanks

Daniel
