Hi,

Can anyone please tell me what type the light bulb is in the spotlights on the mirror (rear view)?

Mine has just gone. Will have to get one from Halfords.


Thanks.

Damn...! Thanks. I bought them off eBay from a fellow Zoner expecting them to work but unfortunately only one works. Oh well guess I will have to fork out and leave him bad feedback! Maybe even take it up with PayPal. Don't really wanna do that...not the way I like doing things. Suppose it's in my interest though. Will see what happens. I'm having good communication with the seller at the moment.

Cheapest way to get a working bulb is to buy an E34 or E36 maplight mirror off of ebay for £0.99 or so, and rob the bulb from that.

Dips it doesn't how much I paid for it - it should have worked ( I saw one a tenner cheaper on here two days ago). You have PM.

And Brian you wasn't joking was you...£12 for a bulb? Are they for real!
