(Home) Interior light flourescent bulb

I have a LiteAce which I bought afew months ago. As winter is appraoching I need a light bulb for the rear interior light. As the original is missing I don't have anything I can take into a spares shop to see if they have anything that matches it. Does anyone know a part number or the type of bulb to ask for?

All depends what kind it is. There are a number of different varieties used depending on the model.Bayonet, festoon, wedge base. Then there's the dealer/ specialist breaker only fluorescent tube...
But assuming it's not a fluorescent, start with a 10W (short) festoon.

As David says, assuming it isn't a fluorescent fitting in the back, but is a normal festoon bulb it is a type 269, any motor factor will sell them, common as muck on Jap cars. HTH Rob.

Well a couple of resposes here say, "if it's not the flourescent" Well guess which I need! Any Ideas where? Somewhere near Oldham in an Ideal world.

Camping & caravanning shop, or a marine supplies shop, pop down your local canel & see the chandlery shop. HTH Rob.

Nope, the fluorescent is dealer- only. However, the specialist breakers do them now. Try BBC Spares.
