Invalid or non-existent item ID.Anyone have a picture of the bulbs used in the window swiches, heating switches and oil/time clock. Are they all the same.

Been reading up and it seems I need the 12v led bulbs and resistors. Now these come in various sizes. 3mm 5mm 8mm. Am I right in thinking 3mm, 12v leds.

Looked on ebay, and have found some that come pre resistored, would these be ok,

QTY 10 BLUE 3mm FLAT TOP 12V LEDS NO RESISTORS REQUIRED
Completed

If you get 12v 3mm leds then they go straight in.(they have a built in resistor. Those are the kind I used.

Normal 3mm leds need the resistor adding

Some of the smaller switches have two leds in them one for illumination one for the on/off indication. :yesnod:

Not sure on the clock/oiltemp as they are different according to age of car. If it is a later Tf I believe they are the same led.
Earlier, they are a T5 bulb and a BA7s bulb

One of the guys did mention Maplins, nearest one to us is at Teeside park, about 40mins away. It just isn't worth it in petrol, when I can order off ebay for a few pounds.
