I'm having a real poxy job getting hold of these, if I want to get one from VX I have to order a minimum of ten at a cost of nearly £30, been to Maplins but no joy It's starting to do my nut in.
Any clues where I can get one :y
-
PM AndyC on here, see what he can come up with.
I could do with a couple as well.....
-
If they only come in bags of 10,I will take 2 if you want to do bulk order and sell off surplus.
You only then need to shift 7 assuming you don,t want to keep a spare.
-
Check under maintenance (cleaning sunroof disc) i remember something about the bulb, at the bottom of the post, if that helps... :y
-
It may not be as easy as you think to replace this bulb once you get hold of one - I think some soldering is involved as the bulb has 2 wires coming out of it - not just a push fit as I first thought, so you may go to a load of trouble getting hold of the bulb only to find its a mission to get the thing soldered in.

No soldering needed chaps its a push fit. all you have to do is cut the LED wires to the same length as the bulb you take out then carefully push it home.
Did mine today. Could only get orange LED's though. Cost 43p from Maplins . you can buy 1 or as many as you need. they are availiable in other colours and in extra bright if you want.
If you have trouble getting them let pm me and i can get some and post em to you :y

That's good of you but as you got at maplins I'll give them another go but a different branch, do you know what section of the shop they are in as at the slough shop he was useless & getting the hump that I was telling him they do have them >:(
Or if I can get another few members who want some I'll get VX to order a pack of 10 & send them to who ever needs them :y

Some sunroof ECUs have push fit bulbs, some are soldered.

Luckily mine is push fit other wise I'd leave it :)

Got them from the parts section at the back of the shop in leicester. i just asked for basic LED's 12volt. the first ones he showed me were in a mounting case with two wires out the back but then he pulled out a set of draws with loads of the right ones in. Wanted white but the nearest he had were orange.. could have had Blue, Yellow, red or green and a couple of the colours are available in extra brite. They look just like the photo in the how to guide on here.
Mark.. :y
P.S. TheBoy is right about not all of them are push fit so best to check yours before you go and get some :)
-
If you go for LED (NOT IDEAL!) make sure its a wide angle type, not ultrabrites (like gay blue!), as the sunroof uses lightguides as well

I am sure I got a 2w bulb with long wires from Maplins. Twisted the wiresand pushed in. Still working years later.
