Abs warning light bulb?
« on: 19 April 2013, 09:14 »
Can you get the bulb/LED and replace it. Or do you just replace the unit?

If so are the abs and airbag units  all the same? It's for a obd1 vr6

The only difference are airbag light or no airbag light. The connectors are 100% the same.

Pretty sure the leds can be changed as I think they fit the same as the window switches.

Easier just to change the whole unit though.

There are several combinations of the functions depending on the car spec.  ABS,  Airbag,  towing indicators and some foreign ones have seat belt warning.
