Hi Folks,

I need to replace some of them and I cannot figure out which ones to buy.
The supplier sites such as FCP don't offer much help.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Dirk

Search P80 forum for the infamous Radio Shack bulbs.
Radio Shack is now gone, so find equivalent bulbs on ebay 12V/50mA type, usually sold as a pack of 10, 50 or 100.

PS: I have a spare HL switch from an S60 lying around.
Just verified the setup, it is the same Radio Shack light bulbs 272-1092, 12V/50mA type.

Make sure you re-use the same "blue mini condom".

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
I didn't realize they were the same as on P80's.
