Those exact two went on me the other day as well! - must be the season..

I wouldn't even know where to get them - are they standard auto/mitsi yokes?

would Halfords do them perhaps?

CJ,
I'm not sure if it's the same type bulb, but I replaced the ashtray/ cigarette lighter bulb a while back. One of those small ones with the blue cover. I was able to just pick it up in a car accessories shop, did not come with the blue cover though.

I asked in Halfords. They didn't sell them.

I had the buld out and walked in said do you sell these, the man said No.

Good luck getting near the place at the weekend though :evil:

I removed the clock / voltmeter the other night, one of the bulbs behind the clock had blown while the other had come loose. They are a different type (smaller) than the ones behind the main instrument binnacle.

Heres a (bad) bulb comparison pic, the one of the left is from the main instrument binnacle while the one on the right is from the clock \ voltmeter, you can see that theres an obvious difference in size.

CJ,

There is a guy up in Newry, He's a Mitsubishi specialist and he might have a few of them bulbs for you. They exact same bulbs went in my car the other day and i got 2 bulbs of him there on Monday. He has a few dashes lying round so he might be able to get you a few bulbs.

You should give him a call to see if he has any.

His number is on the services page in the FTO parts list.

CJ,
Any joy with this? Were you able to source these bulbs. I could drop into the place where I got mine and check to see if they have them.
Are these push in type bulbs. Do you have a spec for them?
