Question about this little bulb
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.

Re: Question about this little bulb
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.

Re: Question about this little bulb
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.

Re: Question about this little bulb
Finally had some time to look properly.
Have a look here:
http://autolumination.com/74.htm
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.

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
