Hello I changed the bulbs in mine beginning of last month I have just been trying to find the post I out up for it  ::) I had the same problem using vx parts it was going to be £15 to change all 5  >:( I found that you can remove the bulbs from there holders and just the glass part these were 47 pence each from local car spare shop  ;D you will need 5 x type 236 (12V 1.2W) They are small wedge based lamps same shape as the side and indicator wing lights just a smaller version  ;) Hope this is some help its a bit of an awkward job getting  a couple out of the back of the dials  ;)

Are the bulbs not soldered to the housing then :-/ If they aren't that's great cos 10 is about £3 :)

No they are not soldered in they are just a push fit  ;) they may be awkward to pull out due to there size but they will come out eventually  :) Like I said yesterday they are not the easiest lampholders to get at in the climate unit I had to use a pair of reallly thin long nose pliers to get one out  >:(

Or a 7mm (?) socket seems to fit most ;)
