Are those small bulbs used for warning lights etc. in late dashes dealer stuff or should I be able to find them from somewhere else as well? Only markings I saw on them was "osram 12/1.2" ..?

Also some of the bulb holes in the back of the instrument cluster were just covered with some tape... what's up with that??

 

Just take the bulbs down to a good auto supply house -

I had no problems even getting the little pea bulb that fits inside the HL switch - yes, there is a bayonnet bulb in there that is lit when the ignition is "on".

Just be VERY careful removing that one - the one in my son's car was so tight that I ended up giving it a twist to get it out - instead of pulling it straight out.

Ended up SHORTING OUT and destroying the switch! So a $1 bulb ended up costing me $80 in parts for a new switch!

The tape probably covers up unused bulbs such as the ABS / AIRBAG warning lights.

 

You can also try a lamp supply shop, they have a million odd ball bulbs. Just don't go overwatt because you WILL melt the plastic. I think Olli replaced a bunch of those bulbs so he probably has a local Finn lead on where to get them.

 

Make sure you dont melt anything EEK

 

Thanks everybody!

I switched places for few bulbs and almost got it working like I want it to, but now I've got a problem with the "!" light... the damn thing stays on all the time! I guess it's because the cluster has been switched from a later car and it expects some signals from air bags, ABS and those other fancy things... doh!
