Bulbs? As in h4 normal headlight bulbs? Tonnes of places. Am I missing something? Halfrauds, any auto shop, probably Tesco even! I can send you some for wholesale prices if you want - I work in a vehicle spares wholesaler. Not specialising in cars, mind, but there's plenty of crossover parts and spares.

Try the dealers Jake, the prices will be roughly the same and least they will fit!

The head light switch blub is very easy to change, once you get the switch out of the dash, the blub should be availble from most motor factors (halford will not sell them) I think mine was a couple of pounds, its made by a company called DL products Ltd and called PCB Buld 12V 1.2w product code - D515. I'll take a photo tomorrow of the bulb tomorrow if it helps.

I tried to change the bulb in my heated rear screen then gave up and brought a new switch, approx £15 from VW

get the bulb out and take it with you. they're a standard fit bulb, and will be readily available from most good motor factors. i got the ones for my scala from gsf leeds. eware though, there are several different wattages available, so make sure you swap like for like
