Title: Dash bulbs
Post by: RolandL on 02 December 2009, 21:06:19

small problem, nothing major.  Have some backlight bulbs out on my dash.  Can't find any details on the site about what type they are.  so...

Q1  What type are they, capless or in little black holder

Q2  How many backlight bulbs are there in the dash

cheers

Roland

They are the same as the "501" sidelight bulbs but ideally you want 3w as opposed to 5w :y
