Bonnet Light Bulb

[vincereynard]

Can anyone tell me where I can get a bulb for the bonnet courtesy light?

The 2 contacts are sprung and the circuit is through both contacts, like a domestic UK light bulb,
so I cannot use a normal auto bulb.

Not that I can see the bulb lasting long under the bonnet over the exhaust!

That's a B22 fitting I believe - here you go LED so should last forever and is 3w so will probably give equivalent light to a 30w conventional bulb - on that basis I'm sure it's worth the money:

Steve,

Thanks for that.
I suspect that the "22" bit is the diameter of the fitting - Bayonet 22mm.

This is standard car bulb so more like 15 mm.

Except it would have to be a double contact like a domestic bulb.

I was going to suggest a stop/ tail bulb. But I think they have offset pins

Are these the ones?

Thanks Alan.

I looked without finding.

So it looks like 209 is the 5 watt bulb, and 335 is the 21 watt.

Take your choice, although I suspect a 5 watt would be a bit dim.

Go for LED versions much much brighter and last.

The link you gave only seemed to show 22 mm version and 240v.

I could not find a 12v that would fit.
