Hi Nodge.
I had to buy some replacement headlight bulbs for a Citroën C2 the other day which were H4 fitment. On one of the Citroën forums, someone had compiled a complete list of every type of light bulb. There's one for P38's on the "other channel" on LZ too, I believe.
My FL1 internal courtesy lights are absolutely terrible and the headlights are, I believe, dangerously feeble on "dip". Multiple bulbs behind switches don't illuminate so need replacing too.

All the bulbs used on the FL1 are listed in the owners handbook.
However here's a few off the top of my head.
Headlamp, H4 (pre-facelift)
Headlamp dip/main, H7 (facelift)
Side light, 501
Tail/brake 380
Indicator (amber) 581
High level brake 995 (I think)
Reverse 382
Interior festoon (can't remember the number)
That's about all I can remember just now.

No handbook with the car Nodge, but I have a "Haynes" manual en-route in the back of a Postman Pat van somewhere...
Thanks for those golden nuggets of information!
H4's are the main priority.
When I replaced the P38's headlight bulbs, it simply tansformed driving on dipped beams at night!

You can upgrade them with Osram Night Breakers, or Philips Racing Vision 200, which have a slight edge over the Osram.
Unfortunately the H4 (472) bulb is a flawed design, as when in dip mode, 50% of the light from the filament is blocked by an internal shutter. The main beam filament isn't shuttered so has a higher light output.
This is why many vehicle manufacturers went over to using the H7 for both dips and main beams, which the facelift Freelander also did.
This way the dip reflector can be made to focus all the light to the road, as there's a separate reflector for main beams, which effectively over doubles the light available.
