Hi All.
I’m looking to replace the blown/renew dashboard bulbs that illuminate the controls.
Does anyone have a link or advice on where to get them?
Thank you.

Hi - I’ve not done the job myself - I need to - but I’m sure I’ve seen a YouTube video. I’ll take a look. Is yours an R8? Matthew

Hi mate, I think I’ve got a a few spares from an R8 I broke a few years ago - how many do you need?

Hi Paul.
Hope you are well.
I’m working through them.
Starting with the cigarette lighter and working around the dashboard.
Quite a number.
Which ones have you got?
Thanks.

The bulbs behind the rotating ventilation controls are strange. I tried changing all bulbs but these looked almost permanently fixed in. Mine work but aren’t very bright any more, it having all gone a bit brown.
Is is really right that Rover never illuminated the window switches? Seems incredible if not. If they did my bulbs have gone - all advice welcomed.

R8 uses the following instrument bulbs, a fair variety:
Code: Select all
Part No Desc Qty
CDU 3270 Bulb and holder-14V-2W 1
EJP 1180 Bulb and socket-14v 1.4w 12
EJP 1181 Bulb and holder-Automatic 6
YAJ 10007 Bulb and socket-14v 3w(Blue cap) 3
YAJ 10008 Bulb and socket-14v 1.4w(Blue cap) 2
YAJ 10009 Bulb-14v 3w(Blue cap) (Amber) 1
Most are common to MGF and Land Rovers, so are still obtainable, including from RimmerBros.
