markat Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hi all, My Smiths rev counter illumination packed up last week so I managed to remove the unit and get the bulb out. Anyone got a clue where I can get a replacement bulb please as I can't find one the same anywhere online! Heres hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsechris Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Can hardly credit suggesting this these days, sadly, but have you tried Halfords? They are often a T5/286. Is this image shamelessly snagged from an eBay advert any help? If you can measure the base for width, thickness and pin spacing, I might be able to help - I have loads of bulbs from stripped cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 As Chris has said, Halfrauds list a number of similar looking bulbs, don't give any dimensions though. https://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-blades-batteries/car-bulbs?pageNo=1&pageSize=42&sort=price_for_ranking+asc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammie Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 There called capless bulbs, normally 1.2w and I think there referred to as a 286. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
