aftermarket lights...pah fitting old school bulbs  (my old mk1 escort had h3's)
and the list...
H1 is a 448
H3 is a 453
H4 is a 472
H7-H13 is fitted to cars from 98/99 onwards only!
BA9 is a 233
W5W is a 501
DE3022 is a 239 (although theres about 5 different lenghts!! and each have different numbers!)

all from knowledge retained from my motor trade days!! (I might need the info if the bank goes truly bust!! )

What about fog lights to add to this list?

Interor, Boot, Glovebox
All: 233

FAIL!

The main interior light is longer than the boot and glovebox ones. And a 233 bulb is not the right bulb either. The interior lights are long ones and have connectors on each end, 233 bulbs are the old type of sidelight bulb.

Well, that's what Brad said, so you know.

Sure your's hasn't been modified?

233 bulb...




Interior light bulb...



42-44mm Festoon.

The glovebox and boot ones are shorter Festoon bulbs.

I'm going to measure my boot light at lunch...

[Josho]

Ahh, one of the interior lights is 233.

The map light I think it's called.
