Hi Mark,

Thanks Andrew, I thought you would have the answer, just been and got a pair from halfords. They also have the tiny bulbs for the heater control light in 1.2W and 2.3W versions, any idea which one.

3 watts max for the dash ,otherwise the heat ruins the plastic ,not sure about the heater tho.
I lined the inside of my dash with aluminium tape and fitted led,s. Available in different colours but they are polarity sensitive and the dimmer doesnt work any more

Ive just done the same on the dash clocks and fitted standard green bulbs so i can still use the dimmer, lined with silver tape after reading yours and Johns write ups. I have also changed the heater motor and matrix so this is when I realised that there is a bulb in the back of the heater controls which has blown so need to change it.

Sorry Mark, I can't remember off hand and there's no mention of that bulb in the Haynes manual. The clock ones are 1.2W, I would guess that the heater panel one would be the same?

I think the heater bulb might be a T5 capless, although I'm not 100%
