I bought a job lot so have dash bulbs available for sale. All are in lots of three bulbs and cost £1. Postage for any amount is £1 (so order as many as you like and the postage remains the same).

4.7mm bulbs, suitable for Phase 2 headlight cluster (note: bulb replacement requires soldering)

.

4.0mm bulbs, suitable for Phase 2 heater panel (no soldering required, the contacts pull out with pliers and bulb can then be slid into place)

.

3.0mm bulbs, suitable for Info Centre switch and other smaller switches like the alarm cancel, etc (bulb wires fold into the holders with these)

.

I will check the Phase 1 holder size suitability and update in due course, but I have included the full dimensions so you can check for yourself if you need to.

If you would like to buy, let me know by PM (if you can't PM yet, post up here and I'll send you my email address). I can take payment via Paypal, each lot of three bulbs costs £1, postage is fixed at £1 whether you buy one lot or ten lots. I can provide instructions if you need them and I'm also thinking of knocking up a quick website to make the ordering process easier so watch this space.

P.S.
I have found somewhere that sells the blue silicone bulb caps but the 4.7mm ones are $9 for 10(!) + postage from the US so am trying to find a bulk supplier for those at the moment. The smaller ones that I can find are too dark a shade of blue so am going to experiment with colouring the bulbs, will let you know.

You will need to keep your current holders and replace the bulbs in those, this is an easy task for most of the bulbs but for the Phase 2 headlight cluster you will need to get your soldering iron out. I'm also trying to track down a supplier for those holders so hopefully the soldering can be avoided, and any burnt holders can be replaced.
