Title: Mysterious dash lightbulb
Post by: Golf GIT on 13 September 2006, 12:24

Hi

Can someone tell me where I would find the lightbulb(s) that illuminates the heater temp and fan displays on a mk2 please? Its blown and i don't know where the b*gger is!

Thanks!

Its a non replacable bulb as standard. Although if your handy with a soldering iron you can solder a new one in. You take the pannel off and split it in half carefully. You will then see the bulb. Often its easier to buy a new pannel on ebay with a working bulb. I upgraded all mine to leds

nice one thanks mate. Found one on ebay already, sweet! So you soldered LEDs in place of the original bulbs? sounds cool, what colour? Are they brighter?
