General Boot light bulb

[AlanHod]

Anyone know what kind of bulb the boot light takes? I thought i just had the clear cover to hide the boot light cut out but I have just taken it off and its complete with the bulb holder and its connected, there's just no bulb.

Cheers

Thanks mate, looks like its a trip to halfrauds. Looks like theres only 1 connection though, surely the bulb needs 2.

Its not a festoon bulb, don't know the correct name but it was just called an interior light at Halfords (code 501). But, in typical fiat style only half the connector was in the bulb holder, but, thanks to a bit of bodging (and wire) it now works a treat.

501 is the same bulb as the sidelights. sorry i assumed it was a festoon as all the other interior bulbs are. Sorry again

Yep, they're exactly the same as your sidelight bulbs.

Bugger, I had some of those already! Thought it looked familiar. Never mind, got another spare one now.
