I've decided to actually replace a few blown globes, not the least of which being the kerbside headlight:D.

The light globe in the hazard light switch and other binnacle switches is the strangest globe I've ever seen. Micropuss has the part listed, "also serviced as part of a kit" but doesn't give the P/N for the bulb and holder.

Pictured here with a clock globe and 5cent piece. It is truly tiny!

Any ideas as to part number?

Doesn't it show in EPC? I'll check when I get home (well, if, that means :mad:).
Cheers

As I wrote on RR.NET, they look very similar to the Rangie lights (this is one of mine). Two views of miniature green bulb STC1878 used to illuminate most of the buttons in the fascia switch pack. The orange bulb STC 1877 looks identical except for the color. (the plastic on this bulb base is broken).

The clear bulb, part number STC 1205, used in the hazard flasher switch looks slightly different.

I wonder if yours is an STC1205. I think it may well be.

With the other globe, that's looks like a standard Euro panel light. I've bought them from local auto parts stores. The clock bulb and holder for the D2 clock is YAW100030

Thanks Ron. Those parts appeared when I searched by part number!

Roverparts have them for $6.60 each. Fortunately I only need three!

Ummm... people, they are wedge globes....... Hella, Narva and just about all globe manufacturers make them.
Some come with a base, some just pull straight out of the base.......
Come in 10mm, 5mm and 3mm sizes.

In many cases, yes.

However, a number of the bulb holders used in LRs have the bulbs welded in so removing the bulbs isn't so easy.
