Replacement Switch Bulbs.

Post by windywatson » Sat Jan 08, 2011 5:33 pm

The rocker switches for the rear electric blinds no longer illuminate and on inspection the bulbs have gone. They are of a miniature type that are very specific to the type of switch. I'm sure they are what would be called wheat grain or grain of rice bulbs.

Any one out there know where I can get some replacements. Or is it a case of acquiring through breakers or Mazda dealership?

replaced mine with T5 Image
Just opened up the hole where the rubber tube goes to suit the bulb (snug fit) and bent the connection to suit the switch..... job done......you could also use LED's the big plus is that you can replace the bulbs easily should they happen to go again...
