Default Bulb to illuminate fan controls

What type of bulb is this????

Iv never seen one like this before and unsure where I can get one from. Has anyone else had this problem as it really annoys me that not all the switches are illuminated!!

The bulb is in a plastic case that fixed to the rear of the fan controls

Any help would be much appretiated

Undid the 2 screws that hold the cup holder above the radio, then pulled out the blower vents, then the fan and stereo surround just pulls off in 1 piece.
The bulbs are screwed in at the back easy job

You can get coloured bulbs

http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nk....c0.m270.l1313

Most are 31mm in the Impreza IIRC.

Have just seen some led replacement fan and speedo bulbs on ultimatemods.co.uk

They seem to look quite smart and would hopefully improve from the boring green iv got now...

Wat are people's reviews on these are they a good/bad thing etc
