Best to take the old one out and ask at an auto store that sells that type of thing, Maplins etc.

Yeah u can get a led 1, for the bulb but to be honest it really aint worth it, give the light housing a really good clean and stick a new bulb it and it should be cool

E30 interior light bulbs should be 10W. Quite often find the more common 5W bulb fitted instead.

Mine was really poor ... probably had never been changed since new.
Put a new one in and it's a lot better ... so just get a new 10W bulb and I'm sure it'll be fine
