Are you sure it's the bulb?

Sender unit wire is notorious for working loose and earthing against something stopping the light coming on with the ignition.

It's a standard capless dash lightbulb by the way, if you are a bit athletic you can see it if you lie in the footwell facing upwards (I don't pretend it is quite this easy, and you may need a chiropractor when you get out with the bulb in your hand to find it's alright!)

Try swapping charge lightbulb and oil lightbulb to see if it is the bulb or something else.
