Default AU Dash Clock Bulbs

Hey guys,
The bulb for my clock has blown and i was wondering with the bulbs as they are a funny design, does that mean you can only get them from ford dealers?

Cheers.

If they're the same as the ones behind the Odometer, quote the reference from the Narva book 47734 - http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/globes Figure 4.

No probs.

As elf100capri stated, you can get them at the local Sprint/Repco/Autobarn type stores, if they are in fact the same as the odo globes they're usually about $2 each. I had a bit of trouble getting mine though, nobody had stock, so had to get them ordered in but all you can do is try, and if they are the same as the odo globes you've now got the reference to go straight to the counter and ask if they have any in stock!

Thanks mate, I'm pretty sure they are the same globe as the odo globes. I got a replacement one from ford a while ago and they charged 5bucks!

No problems.

I've been meaning to change mine for ages, but need to figure out how to get the "egg" shaped surround bit off - I've read you need to get the stereo out, if this is true I'm stuck in one hell of a catch 22, as with my double-din DVD player, I'll need to get the surround off to get the stereo out!
