Title: dash instrument lights
Post by: chopper2k22 on November 30, 2008, 05:22:58 PM
Iv had a few bulbs go on the heater consol, and looking for replacements could only find a 14v 1.2w or a 14v 2.3w. Would this make any difference besides the brightness of the bulbs.
And was also looking at replacing the other bulbs in the clocks, but cant find the bulbs for the warning lights, does anyone know where i can get them from?
Or is it going to be a mazda part :(

They\'re just normal push fit bulbs mate. The pull out of the little plastic holders. Dont matter what the wattage is, the brighter the better imo. Go to your local back street car spares shop and take 2 of the bulbs with you. They should have them. There are 2 different sizes and Cost about 50p each from memory
