Default Battery for a VW key(little light)

Got a little light on my VW key but the battery has gone.
Just wondered is there a site that sells these watch type batterys? or would it be easier to pop to a dealers and order one?

Or any shop that sells batteries - camera shop, argos, woolworths, corner shop, homebase, petrol station, etc etc... They aren't particulary elusive - quite common in fact...

I normally find those little lights puny to say the least lol. And I think you got a Clifford don't you VW_08? So you don't need to see where you are putting they key in the lock do you?

It's obviously NOT obvious tho is it - if it WAS obvious, you wouldn't have asked would you?

And if this is for your front door, why not get a mini keyring torch? YOu can get em in Halford for 99p and last longer and emit FAR more light.

I actually have one of these above my front door;



Stuck it above the door, and one push and it shines down nicely over the locks. Been there for over a year and no sign of batteries dying, used pretty much every night when it gets dark before 6. Cost £3.
