When I had to replace mine, I took them to a Nissan dealer and they matched them nicely. Different colour but they worked a treat.. :D
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Try southside motor factors on the kylemore road. Not sure if the clocks/volt meter bulbs are the same as the A/C bulbs (the ones wit the little plastic bits on the end) but if thet are they definately have them. I think they only have the normal white bulbs in that particular bulb. They definately dont do blue ones anyway.

I think I know the ones. They are in the A/C as well, there are two sizes iirc, one slightly bigger than the other.

Its called either a T3, T4, or T5 not sure which though. Southside definately have these, I was looking to get some for the A/C in blue they only had white (normal) bulbs.
Try ebay if you cant get to Southside. You would need to know the type (T3, T4,T5) as its hard to tell from the picture what size is the right one. I think its the T4 for the clock, (not 100% sure though). I'm guessing the number refers to the size in mm, and the one in the clock is 4mm.

How many do you need? I have one working one that I took out of the A/C your welcome to it.
