I'm trying to find out what bulb I need for the Headlight panel illumination, to the right of the steering wheel, where the headlight/foglight switches are? Also the ones I need for Headlight levelling panel. Thanks.

It's a tiny capless bulb.
If you ask nicely at your local motor factor for 'dashboard switch lighting',unless you get the junior retard serving you,they will know what you want.Even my Fix It Again Today/Tomorrow every bloody day thing uses the same bulb in similar places.

Headlight level is easy to get to,so if there's a blown bulb there,you will have a sample to take with you.I buy the little swines in 10's,usually get a better price!
