Even Merc don't have them 🤣
Tried few years ago to get them replaced was told they don't do them.
Got a 69 Actros and they are blue guess what Merc don't do them but apparently can get the green ones I've only been waiting 2yrs

Cheers all, the bulb doesn't seem to pull out of the holder and worst of all I think I've broken the filament inside the one I took out so it's not working at all now... 😅

1990s era Toyota Landcruisers have them in the back of the clocks because I replaced some of them in my old Landcruiser. Was a Colorado 3.0 GSTD to give you a model to look for them. Hope this helps👍

So after hours of looking, they are a "ebs r4" bulb, the 'bulb' definitely doesn't come out of the holder, that's just the glass covering the filament, trust me I pulled it apart.. 😅

They are the night running lights that come on in the cab when you switch on your headlights. You turn the function on via the trip computer where you dim your dashboard lights.
