Bulb Guide!

[maurauth]

I thought as it's such a pain the arse searching through the handbook and forum posts to find out what bulbs go where in your Vectra / Signum that I'd write a guide to all of them. Hope this is spot on I think it is, would anyone be able to check it over before I submit it has a How2?

[Graham]

Brilliant idea.

And the boot courtesy light is a C5W Festoon bulb.... No exact part No as 39mm - 42mm length will fit OK.

[snapsnap]

Great idea.

Everything looks about right for the Signum; Only thing I can see missing is the bulb spec for the illuminated sunvisor mirror thing

[Big-Pete]

Good idea, Dont think its suitable for the howto section though, its more suited to the Reference section..

[mark_647]

Good idea !!!

As I can't edit OP, I'll edit this repost with the changes until it's done. Can't seem to find what bulb the sunvisor takes, has anyone replaced a bulb in it before and remember what bulb it was?
