Default Cigarette Lighter Bulb & Heater Control Bulbs

Hello, Can anyone tell me what size bulb the cigarette lighter one is! I've pulled it out and it is tiny but it doesn't say what size it is on it (e.g 510 - sidelight etc) I want to change it to a blue one to match the dash.

Plus what bulbs are behind the heater controls and how do i get to them. Do the vents pull out?
Dont want to go with a screwdriver and snap something.

I have a 95 import!

THANKS

I have an Xreg turbo 2000. The Cigarette, Heater controls and 6 bulbs in the dash clocks are T5 286 fitment. The petrol and temperature are T10 bulbs (sidelight size).

To reach my heater bulbs, i took the dash top box, the heaterand radio surround and the cup holder off. 6 screws hold the heater control in.

After i loosened the heater control unit, i pulled the control ***** off and then undid the 6 clips holding the front on.

the bulbs behind just wiggle free.

I am working with a company to come up with some LEDS to sufficiently light the dash up as most leave dark patches so as soon as my dash is sorted i will post a tutorial.

Hello, I've had a look at the heater bulbs and they are in cream coloured holders, Do the bulbs pull out of these holders because i've pulled and pulled and they dont seem to move?

I couldn't pull my bulbs out so i just ordered new blue led one already in the holders. Nice and simple.
