ABS LED
« 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 £78+vat :shocked:

Hi mate, ive just got the thing from the car and pulled it apart. It has a circuit board with two little soldered bulb holders. 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:.
