Default Where to get replacement globes for centre dash

Hi all,

In the process of fixing up my series 1 forte I am needing a few replacement globes for the back lighting behind the temperature/fan controls.

Problem is I have not been able to find where I can get them yet?? I have spent a few hours trying to find a thread with this info but so far it has managed to elude my eyes :(

These are the ones I am after...



It seems that I have spares of every size except the ones I need which are the second from the right...

Mmm I thought the T3 globes were the same as those in the back of the instrument cluster (3rd from the right in line up above). If so then I need some which are slightly smaller...

In the picture below the 3 red circled globes are fixed into the circuit board and will need to be soldered back in...Not looking forward to attempting this one. Thankfully only one of these is blown! Appears as though these light up the dials themselves.

The 4 Green circles are globes which I reckon would be impossible to replace!! Glad they are all ok. These are I believe the indication as to "A/C, A/C MAX, External/Internal Air".

The 3 Blue circles are globes which are in the holders...2nd from the right of the line up in the original post. And annoyingly slightly smaller than those used in the back of the instrument cluster.
