Default Dashlight bulbs

Does anyone have any of these cheap? I need well all of them for the A/C unit and the light switch and yet they're like £4 each!!! Looked at Ebay but not really found any not too fussed with quality at the minute either as long as they work.

Just type T5 led in eBay and loads come up then take them out of the bit of plastic they come in and fit them into the AC light holder and pretty sure the t5 wedge fits straight into the dash light holders. If you do this and the led does not light you need to take it out and put it in the opposite way round due to the polarity of the led. Hope this helps. I have done this in mine and all interior bulbs are LEDs as well as changing the green LEDs in all the switches to blue leds
