Bulbs for LCD on Primera.

[Stivino]

Apart from Nissan, does anyone know where I can get the little bulbs for the LCD part of the display on the Primera P11, 51 plate?
The Nissan part number is 26261-BM500

What sort of cap does it have? What wattage (assume 12V?) Can you post a piccy?

I can't see anything written on it. I assume it's 12v but there's no wattage on it either. I have a picture but don't know how to attach it.

adding pictures is easy, see adding a picture in forum information

I had a look at it but I don't really want to create another account, remember password etc.

Didn't think you need to create an account, just upload it to a host such as http://imageshack.us/ and post the link to the picture here.

Never seen anything like that before, how does it fit into the LCD display? I take it you have tried Nissan?
Can you get inside it to the lamp? Just wondering if you can get something from a model shop i.e. like they use on model railways?
Failing that, maybe solder a resistor and an LED into it? Depends on space of course.

I've got them. Got them from Nissan this morning. The young guy that originally quoted me, quoted me £5 each, there are three of them. When I picked them up this morning, I was served by an older chap and they were only £6.88 for the three of them. I just wondered if it was possible to get them elsewhere, for a lot less.
The bulb does come out of the plastic holder, I'll try to post another pic later. Maybe an electronics shop would have them.
