Does anyone know if there is a LED bulb available for these things please? The incandescent bulb in there is a tiny little 12v 6w bayonet fitting and seems to be marked 12p and Osram 3886F LX.
 
Thanks for the link - I don't know?? ;) How do you know if that is the right size? Would need a UK supplier though.

Just googled for the osram number and it came back as a small bayonet 12V 6w lamp also know as a BA9s , then all you need is an LED version..

how about this from farnell? http://uk.farnell.com/dialight/586-2406-205f/led-ba9s-28vdc-white/dp/1138300

Or these from Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0088XQ49C/?tag=eliteelect-21

or these from HIDS 4 U http://www.hids4u.co.uk/233-Twenty20-LED-12V-T4W-Canbus-Wedge-Bulb.html

price, Just depends on how urgent and how long you want to wait for them
 
Ahh, cheers Loz - you're better at this than me - could not get anything from the Osram number, I will check it out and see if a (cheaper!) eBayer has them... :)

The trick with lamps is to know what they are called in all markets, your osram is also known as a BA9 and a T4W and a 233, however as soon as you go LED you have to check how it looks and whether it will fit in the location the old one came out of and whether the reflector will still project the light in the desirable direction etc.

Also, utility lights like this one don't need expensive canbus compatible lamps as they are not tested by the Central Convenience ECU.
