Overdrive off light- bulb type?

Thought I would find the answer to this but extensive search on here produces nothing of use.

The "overdrive off" light on the rev dial has stopped working but the overdrive on/off works ok so must be the bulb.

There is suggestion on here that it may be a soldered/fixed bulb rather than a simple plug in replacement but no definite confirmation by anyone as to exact type. I would think its the same as the "manu" light next to it in the rev dial.

 

I suppose the whole dash panel has to come off to get to it rather than the smaller section around the dials.

i think its a little bulb in a plastic case thing? i have a few if you need one. yes most of the dash panels will have to be removed to get to the clocks

 

Thanks Damo. Yours was the only response on this so hope it is the bulb you think it is as hate removing / refitting dash parts. so many wires & connections to mess up.

Will pop over to see you at the Star Lane Ind. Est. on a week day.

Hi Dave, hope all is well .

Funny thing is that an extensive search has not produced a definate answer to what I would have thought was an especially rare question.

 

Hi Glen

 

Did you find out what type of bulb it is as I have the same problem?

as far as i can remember its either a T5 wedge or twistlock bulb.. i've replaced mine with LED's but didnt change the OD Light.. only the signal light bulb are different from the others.. there are also 3 T10 bulbs for the rpm speedo and the fuel gauge..

I thought it might be a T5 but its even smaller. It looks like the pins come straight out the back of the bulb. I cant get another one out to check cos im worried I might brake them as there a tight fit. My overdrive light was missing when I bought the car.
