    It looks like a 580 bulb to me. It looks chunkier than a 501?

    The bulb is a 501 also called a wedge bulb and it will be a 5 watt rating.

    Looks like the side light bulb. May well be a type 501 as a guess. Try the Halfords bulb finder where you enter your reg number and it lists the bulbs for your car. Here it is.....

    I think it's a 501 too, possibly a w5w.

    on ebay you can get 10 of these for 2 or 3 quid including postage. buy 10 now and with that many spare they might last you a lifetime. better then buying one a time when you need them.
