indicator Bulb 'help'!!

Ok, I have flush mount indicators and one of the bulbs has gone pop!! ... now I can't find a replacement another (tried Halfords etc and looked on line).

here is the bulb:-







It basically is a capless amber bulb, base is 10mm, it is 30mm tall, and at the FATTEST point 13mm wide .... I have found ones with a 10mm base, but are much taller (not that big a problem) but also 15mm wide (this is a problem, 13mm is the max to fit in hole). Obviously needs to be 12v 21w!

HELP!!

Anyone recognise the bulb? Anyone know some good on line places that specialise in bulbs (I have obviously done a bit of failed google-fu to get this far )

looks like a regular W5W fitting

Yep that is the correct base, but remember, it needs to be a 21w job as it is the actual indicator bulb!!

i figured that, perhaps it's too late in the day for humour

do they actually make 21w bulbs with W5W fittings? i can't seem to find them anywhere, all the 21W wedge bulbs are, like you say, 16mm wide

I did wonder if it were a misspelling or humor!! I obviously didn't give you the benefit of the doubt on this occasion!!

Indeed, only low wattage, or too big ... hence my problem

Have you tried someplace like Maplins? I think they have an online store.

Otherwise, can you get any clear ones and some orange glass paint from your local Hobbycraft?

Yes (and no they don't)

Can't even find clear ones of that spec

Someone else must have some indicators with these bulbs they have had to replace at some point!?!?

They're also called 'wedge' fittings

google managed to find these chrome silver amber 21W Wedge selling in Yank Ebay

And http://www.furneauxriddall.com/shop/acatalog/Wedge.html have clear 21W ones in Britain
