S40 V40: - Headlight bulb need replacing but which one?

MuscleFlex · Jul 6th, 2017, 15:13

Hi all,
My small bulb needs replacing but I have no idea which one it is or what it's called.
I have misplaced my manual so I don't know

It's the small one that lights up when in Parked mode?! (I think)
I'm attaching photos

Driver's side with the faulty bulb:

Passenger side with the working lights:

That's a phase 2 so you need a 5w capless, also known as w5w or 501, the 233 one pictured above is a phase 1 bulb.

Front sidelight 5 watt capless.

Most older cars use them.

Any motorfactors should be able to supply them quite cheaply. It is worth asking how much a pack of ten would be as sometimes it is much cheaper to buy them this way.

So - that link I gave is ok? 501 w5w?

Give your headlights a bit of style as well, with the silver tip blending in with the headlight reflects giving a particularly classy look.

Silver tips! Klassy!
