I think mine has a candle inside a dark green glass 100 yards away from the car. Its crap. If theres any decent replacement kits out there anybody post up some links!

What do mean by dashboard? The instrument cluster, or the individual buttons like the demister?

I've got thirteen kicking around, that I took out to replace with LEDs.. I'm happy to let someone have a couple if they need them....

 

[ScubaSteve]

Thirteen? Must have taken them out of multiple cars then as there are only 2 in one puma lol

I had all the other bulbs out too... hand brake, indicator, airbag, abs etc....

I know one bulb broke what I took it out. One bulb is bigger than the thirteen:

Is the larger one for the dash illumination? If so, then I only have one....

 

[ScubaSteve]

yeah larger, but smaller than 501, strange size

any1 found out the bulb code on these yet?

 

[ScubaSteve]

yes its a weird code and you wont find it anywhere, so no point even quoting it even if i could remember it lol.

you will have to go to ford and ask for dash illumination bulbs or source second hand
