What Bulb is this?

[HigtonA]

Right guys and girls,

I have ripped my heating control panel apart today to try and replace one of the bulbs, but i have came across a problem...

I have no clue what type of bulb this is....?

And the back of it looks like this...

Can someone please help me and tell me what type of bulb this is?


Thanks, Andrew

Same as the sidelight bulb I think? It looks like it anyway

 

[HigtonA]

its not a 501, if it was would make life soo easy :/

 

[pritchp]

Oo right ok damn.

Not sure then, sorry.

 

[HigtonA]

Its cool, i have posted it on TOC aswell but no-one seems to know, orb pointed me in the direction of b&q because it does look like bulbs from cookers so i think i will try there.

But if anyone knows on here so i can buy a coloured one from fleabay

I would wait for Karl or Mike (Turbo), they should be able to point you in the right direction.

 

[HigtonA]

Yeah, hopefully they will be able to look at it and tell me *firngers crossed*

Someone answered you on twingooc.com

Helpful, The answer on twingoc reads:

its a standard 501 bulb mate, i've changed the one behind my heating controls to a blue L.E.D. (but then changed it back because it looked very very very wrong due to the light filtering on the displays

Its the same bulb as the ones in your interior lights, (Glovebox, Roof, Boot, Numberplate, etc)

However, from what has been said earlier in this thread, apparently it is not a 501 bulb...so we may be back to square one.

its a r286 bulb you dont have to replace the whole thing, the bulbs are 50p

 

[Karl]

Not wrong Josh but be careful when removing from the holder i seen people mash the old bulbs in the holder

 

[josh hatton]

[HigtonA]
