Hello all,

Be grateful if anyone could help - I'm looking to replace the bulb holders for the instrument panel warning lights, however after a lot of searching I am still unable to find any for sale except an old eBay link from 2019  on a different forum. I've attached some photos of what I am looking for, if anyone could point me in the right direction (or better still post a link), then I would be very grateful.

Many thanks

Thanks, I have had a look there before but they don't seem to sell them anymore.

This is a common issue which is why Autosparks harnesses are fitted with this sort of capless blade bulb now:

Once fitted, who can tell the difference? Of course you will need to earth the bulb to the instrument casing.

I've been on the lookout for a couple of these. It doesn't seem like anyone is still making them so keeping an eye on eBay is probably the best bet.

Worth your while ringing Emberton and speaking to Charles, if he knows there is a demand he may well be able to source some

Thanks all for the help. I may just go for what Restotime has linked - I am not too gussy about having exactly the same but just didn't know if any else would fit.

Many thanks

I couldn't find any new ones either, so managed to find a reasonable set on Ebay. I saw another set on there earlier today...
