No they dont. The capless type bulbs are soldered into the plastic holders and although it may be possible to get something similar elswhere it really is a lot less aggravation to simply get them from a main dealer. You really dont want to go to the trouble of removing the panel for a second time because a bulb has gone out or is flickering. Replace them all.

Give AutoVaux a call they will supply them mail order. It may be possible to get something similarish in Halfords a capless bulb pushed into a holder and save a couple of pounds. It will then allow you to enjoy flickering dash illumination and random bulbs going out. I have been there and got the T shirt. Trust me on this one just buy the Vauxhall part, far less hassle in the long run.   :)
