Hi Chaps

Does anyone know where I can get interior courtesy light. Been looking at the usual on line retailers and two breakers but so far only one (pretty manky looking) has turned up.

Does anyone know what these were from?

Hi Lucy

Thanks for this - but, sadly Powers is out of stock too.

Not sure if it helps, but I think it's TVR part no: M0218

Could always try some hydrogen peroxide on the yellow one?

Isn't it an Escort Mark 2? This one looks the same, if pricey!

I used one of these, fits the same hole (might have had to file out a little fibreglass) and the bigger flange hid some damage to the vinyl smile

A bit off topic but does anybody know if an LED lamp is available for the courtesy light?

Yes but ....... in the interior lamp the bulb is wired back to front, live to the case and earth to the tit on the bottom. Not a problem with normal bulb but an LED won't like it!

An interior light is useful for two things:

1. Flattening your battery overnight if you leave it switched on and
2. Eating a MacDonalds in the car after dark (as I discovered this evening - I don't have an interior light).
