instrument panel bulbs

Post by paulfm » Sun Feb 20, 2022 4:58 pm

Hi all. I'm trying to get replacement instrument panel bulbs for my MK1 1.8, but can't find the 'correct' name for them. I found they are, I think, 1.12watt, and likely to be in small grey bulb holders? They are the little twist and turn captive fitting style and I can't find a reference name or number for these. Can anyone help with either a generic description or an actual part number? Many thanks.

Or can I just change the actual bulb? Do they pull out of the holders?

I have no idea if they fit because I've never had to change one. They are, however what you posted in that they are twist and fit.
