griffsplace Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hi Anyone know where I can get these bulbs from the cigarette lighter and the heater control. Dealer only?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Don't quote me on this but I am pretty sure you the heater ones are T5 bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdale Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 May still available from Mr T. The heater matrix ones are and I think they're the same. Part number 84999-10250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I recently bought in several heater control bulbs. Still available from Mr T. Not cheap though, several £ each. Think they were around £5 each from memory for a part that probably cost 2p to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What your paying is storage charge for all those years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKIV_Danny Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 If you can wait, I will have LED Bulbs soon. Atm I test plenty of different LED bulbs to find the best solution between £ and function. The average price should be around 1£. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKIV_Danny Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Sounds Interesting, how long as we talking about waiting? Well I hope I have them ready this month. I'm in contact with an LED company here in Austria and work on a solution as LEDs do not have the same light scattering as the standard bulbs. However, as soon as I found usefull LEDs, I will open a seperate thread and keep you posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I did a test a few years back on a range of LED replacement bulbs and failed to find anything that gave an even light distribution. They all had hot spots of light which just looked terrible. I wish you luck in finding an LED replacement. I've bought OEM replacement bulbs for the whole interior of the car. There are a lot of them and as Barry says they are not cheap, but Toyota do still sell them. I'd be inclined to stick with the stock bulbs whilst they are available.
