Hi guys. The bulb that does the orange marker for the rear fog light switch has blown and the green backlight bulb for the front fog light switch has blown too.

I got the switches out and accidentally crushed a bulb with my pliers and I've also lost the orange sleeve

I want to keep my car original so I do not want the bright LED T3 replacements available everywhere.

If anyone can help me with the part numbers or help/advice for the 4 bulbs I'd be so grateful.

(not my picture but it shows what I'm on about)



Thanks.

 

No one with any answers?

 

Are they not the little wire-ended ones:

Yeah they're called a T3 12v bulb but I want the right colour. I've got the part number for the one with the orange sleeve (83426AA051) now.

 

Are they not just clear sleeved bulbs, then? those in the classic are.

 

You might find it easier to source the sleeves separately:

You could say I got carried away and I've managed to work everything out! A lot of mine were blown which I didn't know about such as the hazard and heated rear screen so I've made it my mission to change them all.




All bulbs mentioned below are the very small (3mm) 12v wire filament type.

FRONT FOG LIGHT SWITCH = 2 BULBS
1 bulb is a clear one which does the back light. It will illuminate green though as the switch has a green backing colour to it on the inside .
1 bulb is clear with a green sleeve. This illuminates green to show when the switch is pressed or not. You could just buy a green bulb if you've lost the sleeve.

REAR FOG LIGHT SWITCH = 2 BULBS
1 bulb is a clear one which does the back light. It will illuminate green though as the switch has a green backing colour to it on the inside.
1 bulb is clear with an orange sleeve. This illuminates orange to show when the switch is pressed or not. You could just buy an orange 12v bulb if you've lost the sleeve.

I've taken out the bulbs that aren't working hence why each switch only has 1 bulb in currently. The switches come apart (locking tabs) to make it easier to take bulbs out.



HAZARD LIGHTS = 1 BULB
1 single clear bulb which flashes when hazards are on.



REAR HEATED SCREEN SWITCH = 2 BULBS
Both bulbs are clear but the switch is coloured on the inside so the backing light will show up green and the indicator colour will show up orange.


HEATER CONTROL PANEL = 3 BULBS
This is a complete nightmare to access as it involves stripping down virtually the entire dash and taking out your stereo... All to just change a bulb! Trust me, there is no other way. All 3 bulbs have green sleeves.
The A/C bulb is the hardest to change. I broke the switch getting it out so I've had to buy a whole new heater control unit off eBay for £10 just to raid the switch out the back of it.

The 2 bulbs for the dials are slightly larger and are called T5 12v instead of T3 like the rest.







Now to order replacement bulbs from Malplins....,

 

these numbers are from a MY2000 car. Three bulbs are listed, the one you already have plus these

83426AA040
83426FA020

The SubaruFast Cd just calls them 'bulbs' - no other info

 

I can only say that without LSherratt's pics and info I'd never had tackled it. What a pain that hazard switch is to disassemble and reassemble....but it can be done, peeps! . And just to confirm that the bulbs for the switches are available from Maplins stock # BT43W. £1.39 ea, or if you want coloured, blue stock #PG80B, yellow #PG81C, green #PG79L at 99p each.
or from RS Components, £5 for 10, search for type T1 or a T-1 bulb. They deliver free, btw.

 

Great info.

 

These bulbs are now available from here...hopefully useful to others
