All Bulbs

Store

All 700+ bulbs available to search in one category! You can try searching by industry part number, as we have referenced multiple manufacturers' numbers in our database - including Lucas, Osram and Phillips. Or search by bulb characteristics, using the search 'drop-down' boxes below - noting some LEDs accept Voltages (e.g. 6, 12) and the Wattage section also includes some Amp (A suffix) as well as Candle Power (CP suffix) ratings.

If you need help identifying your base, please open the Help & Instructions tab below, or browse the two 'Bulb Types' categories at the bottom of the menu. If you are still unsure, please call 01684 210910 or email us a picture of your bulb and/or bulb holder (with the diameter of the bulb base) and we will do our best to help!

Vehicle Lamp Bulb Base Identification

Car and motorcycle bulb identification guide

The best way to identify your auto bulb is by examining the bulb base (cap).

  • Look at the position and shape of the locating pins on the side
  • Is there a thread instead of bayonet pins?
  • How many electrical contacts are on the end?
  • Maybe there is no cap - just a wedge with exposed contact wires?
  • How many filaments are in the bulb?
  • Some bulbs may need to be measured with calipers to get the diameter and length.

If you are still having problems finding the bulb you need - just ask!

Step 1

Is the bulb from a headlamp? Check our handy photo reference guide to classic car and motorcycle headlamp bulb types.

Any other type of bulb? - go to STEP 2

Headlamp Bulb Guide

Step 2

Select the general bulb type from the 8 options below that best matches your bulb.

You will then see more options or bulbs to purchase.

Please note the bulb diagrams are not to scale.
