Hi All

I have an '03 Ford Mondeo estate and need to replace two bulbs on the dashboard; one for the trip counter and one for the speedo (0-50mph does not illuminate, 60mph+ is fine).

Question is which bulbs do I require? I've searched the internet and get all kinds of answers, with a 501(?) being a common answer, although when I took the dash off they lloked like two different sized bulbs (I know, I should have taken note of the blown bulbs before disposing of them and replacing the dash - school boy error!).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Kevin

I think you will find that the digital display bulbs are t286.The bulbs for the rest of the pod are special and would advise getting them from Ford dealer.
