If it IS an LED, then Rapid Electronics or RS Components.

Regarding LED or no, can you post a decent pic? What are the connections like on it's base? Can you see any evidence that there was ever a filament in it?

looks like the wired ones I listed in the other thread : https://www.scoobynet.com/interior-1...ior-bulbs.html

Not LED

Agreed, I don't think it's an LED either, looks more like a wire ended bulb to me.

Maplins is your place for those: Coloured Subminiature Bulbs : Small Bulbs & Lamps : Maplin

or: Wire-Ended Filament Type : Small Bulbs & Lamps : Maplin

That seems to be the description they use for them abroad, thats why you can only fins them there. Save yourself some time and money, and go into maplins and get the ones we've posted up. The picture you posted is much better than the other one, so I wasn't sure. But I can see they are 100% the wired bulbs. Just unravel one from the holder and you'll see.

As above, they are like the switch lights, unravel them and you'll see

i got a couple of second hand ones which dont work so i bought some clear ones from maplins, they are a bit longer than the ones you take out but fit with no problems and you can take your blue condom off your old ones when you take the old bulb out.

You could have just bought the blue bulb, save messing about with those condoms.

But there is a blue condom on the one in the car

Don't mean to boast, but when I done the bulbs in the switches, they are the same, BOTH my condoms split
