Default A Bulb Holder for Switch Alley - & a horizontal lens.

A bulb holder please. To go above the row of switches above the heater controls.

The bulb holder in my car is wrong. It is a heater controls bulb holder. For a different bulb. So I can't properly describe the right holder, except by what is needed functionally.
  • The holder needs to be for a 12v 2w bulb with a metal cap.
  • The holder needs to be able to be pushed in to a hole close to 10mm diameter and to stay in place in that hole.
  • There are likely to be two male blade connectors on the holder.

I might need a replacement lens to fit the bulb and holder in to. It's a long horizontal piece of probably hard plastic, that spreads light along the top of the row of switches. Is it meant to be a pale green?? If it should be clear colourless, who has an OK one for sale please?

I've sorted this now thanks.

A 12v 4w bulb, two wires soldered on and two male spade connectors on the wires. Bulb held in to the hole in the lens with silicone sealant. No bulb holder required.

This is the best Switch Alley illumination I've ever had so far.
