Glovebox torch

Mine has finally stopped working. It doesnt show more than a faint glimmer even when plugged in and I have checked the voltage across the 2 terminals in the glovebox, which is fine.

Looking at RealOEM shows the torch but no part number for it but I remember reading somewhere not long ago, that they were still available from dealers. Anyone know, or better still got an easy fix? I have managed to open it without damaging the 2 halves, so could replace the battery (looks like 2 big watch batteries back to back) if they're available.

Cheers

I've replaced the battery on a few, but it's a fiddly job. May be an idea to fit a high output LED while your at it.
CPC has suitable batteries.
You can get a new torch from the dealer, cheaper than they often sell for on ebay!

Thanks for the advice. I might try the dealer first to find out the price of the new one.
