headlight switch
« on: 01 November 2007, 18:23 »
the lights on my headlight switch have packed up so looking for a new1, the one i have has the full whammy of frount and rear fogs and headlight adjustment. Do i have to replace the unit with an identical one or can i get one without the adjustment because i have aftermarket twin headlights that dont adjust.....

dont bother

theirs a bulb in the back, costs around £3 from the dealers, its set in a hole in the back of the switch, twist out type

Did mine when i bought the car, all lit again now :)

Pop the ABS/Airbag warning light out first, can't remember if there's a screw holding the headlight switches in or not.. but it's easier to take out that way. There is'nt much slack in the wiring to pull it right out so you'll have to unclip the plug at the back before you take it right out

did you get my pm, returned your messagae, to get the switch out jus clip off the abs cover, then theirs a little tab on the headlight switch, just push this and pull the switch out at the same time..

really easy :)
