Do you guys know what size is this bulb? Where can I find it? Will I be able to find a blue one, if not what can I possiblely do to change the colour to blue? Many thanks.

Looks like either a T5 or T3 bulb. Alternatively you can just replace the red condom that's on top of the bulb with a blue one.

There has been a number of previous posts in the forum about changing the OEM dash bulbs for LED. The idea being that you can buy replacement LED bulbs in various colours.

Here is a couple of threads which may assist you.

checked already, but those are something different, mine is from the lower dash, also I don't think that is T10 or T5, because I have changed my dashboard light too, the one I am holding is from the place that you adjust the brightness level for the dash, and this is the little bulb behind the controler, I just don't know what size is it.

Finally had some time to look properly.

Have a look here:

Half way down the page. They are called Neo-Wedge bulbs. You'll need either a T3 or T4 base. Pretty sure it's probably a T3.

Otherwise just go to your auto store and ask for rubber bulb covers or condoms. Bring the bulb along and they'll know what you're after.

Repco will have one. Just go to the Parts counter.

Bursons might be a go- they are more savvy on spares than Repco- look on line and see if Narva list it in their catalog
