Dashboard Illumination

Hey, I want to replace the bulbs in the back of my speedo clocks as some have blown and I figured I might as well do the lot while it is removed, but I have a question.

 

After looking at this thread http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...p;hl=dash++bulb it says that the dash bulbs are R286 which I have found here http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/R286-Dash...-and-Clear.html but I'm not 100% convinced they are correct. After looking at that site I think they are these http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/R509T-Das...1.2W-black.html can someone confirm please?

 

Also after finding a Picture on here I think there are 20 in the back of the speedo unit, correct? Does anyone know how many are in the back of the heater control dials?

 

Thanks, Ren

R286 look about right to me although I certainly wouldn't pay 95p each for them your local motor factors should do them for around 30p, its two for the heater controls and around 25 for the dash if I remember correctly.

 

btw the second choice you shown is just the bulb holders and the bulbs together you already have the holders so you just need the bulbs :glare:

Yeah the little bulbs just pull out of the black housing.
