Title: Interior lights
Post by: bcarlin on 27 September 2014, 20:32

Our roof interior lights are not coming on when I open the door. The footwell ones are ok. The switch up on the roof feels tight. When I pressed the switch on the roof from off to auto etc they come on ever so slightly. Can you buy just a switch ? And how do you get into it

^^. Yeah, that ebay item definitely looks like the rear map/dome lights.  As in pic 11 in this thread (albeit from the front view)

It does say title "rear"

This is what you could replace it with only problem is that it's cream not black
