Title: ABS LED
Post by: vwagain on 28 November 2005, 21:35: Can the LED bulb in the ABS warning lamp be replaced? (yes, some C**T has removed it :angry:) Or do i have to replace the whole airbag abs warning thingy. I went to the stealers today and was told that you cant replace just the bulb and id have to replace the whole unit at Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£78+vat :shocked:

Ta, Stu

The ABS one has been snapped off completely :angry: They could have at least just removed the bulb instead of breaking the bloody bulb holder off :angry:.
