Hi There
Does anybody know what the actual difference is between these two light bulbs (besides the base colour)??
Thanks
P.

The bulbs have different coloured bases, some are grey, some are white, and there are also similar bulbs with black bases in the lighting switch module. Why do they have different colour bases? do they have different wattage or voltage, size or colour or something else?

Because these questions have been asked before with no clear answers I decided it may be easier to ask if anyone has a couple of the correct bulbs that may otherwise be going in the bin.
They are different wattages - i believe the grey base bulbs are a higher wattage - there's only one to illuminate the central 'area controls' and some sort of plastic prism to distribute the light inside the CCM. I have a spare CCM but all the bulbs have blown.
