The ones I got are the wrong type, they don't have the base. But, they work.

If you don't care about that, then search 12v 0.9w t1 mini bulb.

The right bulbs arrived finally. 20240427_183309.jpg Tiny grain of wheat ones with a little blue cover. 20240427_200741.jpg Replaced the burned ones by the gearshift. 20240427_183355.jpg Cruise switch illumination works again. 20240427_203059.jpg Gearshift track also lights up. Getting better. Phil

It has done a Jag and the inside of the engine is rusty.

The bulbs I ordered arrived.

At least it's Alpine in there being decent aftermarket audio brand. Nowadays it'd likely be some cheap arse generic Chinese brand from Amazon that li...

Light bulbs were a success. Just a few more to replace now.

Super duper(!) premium sound. 20240418_173258.jpg It works, and powers the speakers (that don't sound stock) in the doors. 4x50W so not too shabby for the era. There's wiring for a second amp and a sub. Fair do. I guess that'll be on the wishlist. Probably just stick a 12" on a 400-500W class D...

Ime on those bulbs, once one blows others are due to blow soon after. The shock of removing the cluster can kill the other marginal bulbs. Plus old bulbs are dimmer and it's obvious especially with backlight bulbs when only some have changed. Yup. The knocks and bumps finished off the last two bulb...

Just ordered a pack of the little "grain of wheat" style bulbs that go in the switches, climate panel and gear shifter.
