Hi all,

I have a couple of bulbs out in my dashboard (including the one
illuminating the right-side of the dash - petrol gauge and the naughty
region of speedo..)

I plan to replace all the bulbs I can get to whilst I have the dash
apart with suitable white LED equivalents, and hopefully preclude any
more going pop.

My question is; does anybody know what type of bulb fitment Peugeot used
on the 205 dash?  It would be great if someone could save me from having
to take the dash apart to find out and then AGAIN to fit the new ones!

TIA,
Albert

They're small capless type 286. Somtimes the larger type 501 is fitted
for warning lights eg battery charge

I agree, I had to replace one (right side of the clocks burnt), it's a plain
shame to remove the covers to access these 4 bulbs. I hope the new ones will
last as long as the previous ones (14 years ain't that bad :-) ).

Honnestly, no. Bulbs burning (I mean, dashboard bulbs) seems to be a pretty
"recent" disease, as for example my parents' 405 (built 04/88), with almost
20 years on its wheels, has not burnt any. True it only has 110,000 miles on
the clock (and the car being them since 04/1989 we are certain it's the
right mileage).

Not used in the dark then?

I swear yes, say 50% of time or so, as is my 205 (including the tunnel
pass-through and other visibility issues where you have to put lights on).
