hi ya

i have a uk scooby wagon sport on a S plate which is a 98 i believe its the facelift classic, as you can see from the pic below when i have my side/headlights on the petrol gauge and temp gauge bulbs have gone, i have taken it upon myself to check all fuses and there all fine and intact so i think its pretty much the bulbs, they gave no indication of going...

so my question is does anyone know the bulb type for me to buy for the back of the clocks.

W5W it is then, seems an odd sort of bulb

They are in little plastic twist in/out holder mate. While the clocks are out, change the lot, there are 5 or 6.

thanks for that ive had some clocks out on a rover 400 before and they were simple to change , work same way as the hondas so quite straitforward w5w just seemed an odd bulb but no worries at all ill see if halfords got some later i guess

cheers

The standard bulbs on a Scoob are just that: W5W, as in some sidelights.

went into halfords and they dont keep w5w bulbs unless it has a different "technical" name

eg a bosch xyz ?

HellFrauds? Try a decent car shop/factors, W5W is the generic name, anyone who's selling car parts will know them.

are they clear ones? is there a green filter there?
i want to change these bloody blue things! lol

alcazar

They are clear on my classic, but the clocks light up green, so there must be a filter in there.

i bought clear bulbs and as alcazar said they light up green same as mine so there is a filter

but clear bulbs are the jobbys !

if your on a speedo cable it will take longer, but it took me around 20 min start to finish

its the steering wheel cowling that was a pig for me to had to take the lot off, but i also have leccy wiring on the back of the clock rathr than a cable
