Default Dash bulb, can't find one that exists
Out of my '99 UK classic speedo illumination. I know that one is a 286 bulb from behind the heater controls but the one from behind the speedo has a fatter head, same 286 fitments but have been searching everywhere for a like for like replacement

Any ideas?

Never seen one like that.
Will the narrower one fit in it's place?
What markings are on the larger bulb, wattage etc?
Or ask a dealer what bulb to fit.......surely even a Scoob dealer can't rip you off for one small bulb..........or could they?
