Evening all.
I was told today that JLR have declared that the blue bulbs that illuminate the heated seats and fog light switches in the centre console
LNA 5180CA are no longer available to order.
I had an order in with David Manners Group who said they were on back order, but now NLA.
Does anybody know if there is a suitable alternative? Surely a bulb can't be unique to one model?
Thanks.
Andrew

Hi. This is one to raise with Mike Horlor who is working with SNG Barratt to secure parts for our cars. The club has a process for just this sort of difficulty. I suggest you email Mike with the details? Have you tried SNG already?

Just punched the code into the eBay search bar and one supplier comes up - so they may be the ones for you?

Hi Andrew,
Here's the link for you:

Good luck on sourcing the bulbs.
Take care.

There is a lot of people who have replaced them with LED bulbs, check out the link below:

Thanks all for the replies.
I was hoping not to have to resort to LED's as I have already replaced nearly all the other bulbs with standard items.
I just wish I had bought some spares but at £9 odd plus vat each it can become a bit pricey!
I did try SNG's but they were very slow to respond, and when they did they didn't know whether they were white of blue and didn't have them anyway!
I will look elsewhere and report back asap.
I will let Mike H know as well.

The LEDs are quite bright to be honest. I may have a couple of blue ones buried somewhere in a box, if I find them will let you know.

No luck

Thanks for looking Andy. I have ordered some from the EBay supplier. Hopefully they turn up!
It would be good to find out if the same bulb was used in another application. Possibly a Ford of that era?
Thanks for the comments guys.

Just to report back that I ordered the bulbs from the ebay supplier.
They arrived today! Many thanks for the steer in the right direction.
Andrew

Glad they came through ok.
Take care.
