    Digi dash bulbs

    Anyone know where I can get the 2 big bulbs?

    Vauxhall only sell them in packs of 10 and they're £6 each!

    I used to sell them but there were too many dickheads trying to pull a fast one so I stopped doing them.

    One of my customers managed to trace someone else who might be doing them - I don't have anything to do with them and don't know if they are a decent fit (mine were original Osrams) but if you want to take a chance have a look here :

    You'll also find that a 433T bulb won't actually fit in the middle bit anyway.

    Keep meaning to see if the centre terminals are actually live, as I think it would illuminate the dark bit in the middle quite nice.

    The Halogen definately won't fit the centre hole, so it'd have to be a smaller normal bulb..

    I played around with it once and the middle socket was live. I had to put a smaller bulb in but it worked.

    It didn't make a lot of difference to be honest with you.

    Re: Digi dash bulbs

    I rang all the Vauxhall dealers in the north east and they all tried to sell me 10.

    So, I bought the ones in that link (next day delivery), the gaps between the terminals were a little bigger than standard bulbs but all I had to do is squeeze them down a bit.

    Once again, thanks you Dom for posting that link.
