Is it soldered into that big plastic thing?  Other than that it looks fairly standard.

If it is soldered in then i doubt halfords will carry it, shouldn't be too much from VW though. You should be able to desolder it and solder in an LED instead if you can't get the bulb.

Hmm, looks like a VW jobbie unless you do like TTF said, solder out... solder in....
