Hi All

I'm looking for the bulb that lights up the electric window switches on the left hand side bank in the drivers door. Ideally I would like a part number so I could order a new one, but the Jaguar garage couldn’t tell me the part number and suggested it came as part of the switch which is very expensive. If I can’t get a new bulb then obviously I will need to source one from a scrap yard.

The bulb on the passenger side electric window switch is very dim and I’d like to replace this too.

Any ideas?

Why not pull the bulb out and take it in,since you have to anyways when you get the new one.

 

A good electronics supplier can probably fix you up. In the UK is it "Maplins" that's so well known? Something like that.

In the USA I'd go to Radio Shack and ask for a " 12v grain of wheat" bulb....as that's probably what it is

Nobody has one. Anyone purchased one recently? If so where did you get it from?

Look forward to your help.

Mouser is bound to have them.

Actually, I saw them for sale in one of the sites when I was looking for LEDs (they sold the bulbs and various empty bases so you could mix and match). I'll try and find it again...

EDIT: Auto Illumination has them pre-installed in neo-wedge bases. Worst case scenario, you could just get some of them and unwind the wires. $1.49 each:

Tell us the diameter of the bulb? (I've forgotten).

Also and interesting note: Right at the bottom of that page they have coloured silicone caps - an option for anyone who wanted to change the colour of their backlighting without using LEDs.
