Interior lights - HELP
« on: 18 April 2008, 21:04 »
My mrs has just bought a 96 golf cabriolet and some lights on the dash seem to have gone.

The main dials seem to only light up half way across the left hand side is dark so seem to think one or two bulbs have gone there.

Also the heater rings do not light up so wondered how many bulbs I need to replace there.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a quick how to and also where to get the bulbs from , apart fropm scrappies.

So just the one bulb behind the heater switches then?

How many behind the dash?

My heater ones were gone, so I changed the one central bulb for a drand new one, but inly really lights up the central ring, with the two other dials hardly visable, asnd the words "aircondition" isnt lit up at all,

which leads me to beleive there surely must be more than 1 behind there?
