I just remembered about Farnell !

Does anyone know what is the correct bulb from this list ?

Obviously Maplin is gone now for the BT43's

[EDIT lol] Maybe I won't ! I just measured the bulb I still have out of the switch assembly they are only about 3.5mm - 4'' diameter !
These on ebay are 5mm I dont think they will fit in the little holders ! Everything else looks good apart from thickness etc [EDIT]

I'm ordering 10 x 12v now and i'll keep you all posted when they arrive, the 2 I bought for 6 quid from with UK with holders hopefully will do me for now.....

I do a fair bit of night driving and they are a pain in the **** the 3 (I think) bulbs that are out.....
