Default Demister Switch Bulbs

After I don't know how long I have got around to pulling the demister and hazard warning switches out. The bulbs when the lights are on have blown. Having taken the switches apart the bulbs do not look familiar. Anybody know their spec and where I might get them (web as I live in Ireland). MY99 Uk spec Turbo

Thanks Pat

Burns spot on the order is going in this evening.
Alcazar thanks but the bulbs are tiny and smaller than those you have specified I think (bulbs are 3mm dia or less)

Once again thanks everyone

Here's a picture of the switch,you can see the tags on each side,

I just gently eased it out from underneath with a flat screwdriver and a bit of cloth on the facia.

As you can see from the picture,

the bulbs are held in a rubber housing,all you have to do is unthread the bulb wires from the housing and rethread your new bulb in the same way,and then cut off the excess.




to finish up with this ,

just trim off the excess.
