Yes thay are! you prob need new bulb.
Its a 5 min job.
You pull the centre knob off ,with a bit of force and there is a small bulb inside there you will need some long nose pliers to reach it. :wink:

Thank you :) will halfords sell the the bulb or is it best to go to vw dealer?

You seem to have a few electrical problems mate theres a control unit behind the dash I wonder if this is faulty? Think mk4luke took his out because he thought the problems he had were caused by this but his turned out to be just a simple fix and was just a fuse. :smiley:

It could be a bulb mate have you checked it yet? If it still doesnt work after you have fitted a new bulb then it could be that control unit thats affecting your windows aswell.

afaik you need to put the centre nob to number 2 first then pull it or it wont come off... halfords sell the bulb its number 286 you need and its around £1.70ish

ok thanx i just pulled the bulb out looks abit black so i think its gone,now when i put it back does it go back in in a certain way? the back of the bulb is flat,do i just put it in and twist it clockwise or put it in a certain way?like do i put it in in the shape of an I or -? hope that wasnt very sonfusing lol.

I've never had to change that bulb myself (touchwood), but if it's the type of bulb I'm thinking of, it just pushes back in. Did you have to twist the old one out or did it just pull out straight?
-
have you seen the side light bulbs? 501 bulb?? its just a small version of that, just pushes in with the flat spade bit at the back horizontal
