That's an Ever Ready torch bulb.

Seriously?

Why the **** is it in my car

Wondering what Nissan are playing at!

It looks *identical* to one if it isn't.

Is this the right size base?

Yeah already had a little google around, seems right, but i think the wattage is off, will check again later today, now i know what i'm looking for its easy. Just needed a nudge with in the right dirrection, and funny enough the guy did laugh and say is it from a torch, i probably should have taken that as a hint

That's a fairly standard sidelight bulb, but a lot of spares places don't keep them any more. Motorbikes use them too. 3W or 5W.

Try here, they keep every auto bulb under the sun: http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/category/90

I reckon it's one of these.com: http://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/product/673

Without measuring it they look right yeah

Except tis bulb is 10w, i should really know this but i don't, as long as its 12v and below the wattage it won't really make any difference will it? Maybe slightly dimmer at worst?

I'm gonna find somewhere local i can buy it though i don't fancy farting around online for 50p! Now i know i'm after a minature bayonet lamp, probably a BA7, i should be fine!

After googling around i'm maybe thinking i might just pay a little extra and get the LED replacement version if i can. Start with the task of replacing all the little lights that keep going out in my car with LED's, unsure if this is a good idea or not really. I don't plan on selling the car any time soon and it would be helpful.

On that note i'd totally forgot (because it's been behaving recently) but it would appear that i have a dodgy contact/earth on my front headlight as well, so another little job with some spirits or something...

Fire up the ouija board?

LeperousDust · 24-03-2009, 16:04

Oi

Actually most likely i'm going take it apart and dose everything in WD40 since i've got the end of an old can and nout else at present, should do the job for a fair bit.
