The cylindrical bulb that goes in the center is a type 578.
The two on the left and right sides are type 912.

The manual that I have downloaded lists the bulbs for the headlights and tail lights etc but not those ones

So, I ordered the replacement bulb, an led one, which arrived yesterday and which I fitted.

However, it doesn't seem to go off but just stays on constantly. The door ajar light goes out when the door is closed so I guess that sensor is working.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Now you know why the bulb was missing. A PO removed it because of a circuit malfunction.

Might want to check the courtesy lights in both doors as well as the cargo lamp. They're all in parallel with the overhead lamp.

Didn't even know there was lights in the doors....I'll check those tomorrow.

What's the cargo lamp?

Thanks

Try adjusting the dimmer wheel next to the headlight switch.

The cargo lamp is incorporated into the high mount brake light.
