Hi,

 

I want to fit a new bulb behind the heater slider panel on my 89 16v but i dont know which type it needs as the old ones been taken out.

 

Does anyone have a picture of one or know which one i need?

 

 

Cheers.

dcuk, sorry i know know but it was to easy, The heater controls come out easy enough. i think its one of those puch fit bulbs that are the same as sidelight bulbs, you know the pure glass ones that just have a couple of wires bent around the glass for contacts.

Not sure if the bulbs come out, i've got the same problem and couldn't get the bulb out for love nor money, suppose i could always use a hammer!

i don't think they are removable, i drlled the hole bigger and fitted a larger bulb , i'll check the size when i get home

There's a guy on ebay that replaces bulbs for leds-i've already converted my dash to blue and they work pretty well.

Might be worth contacting him, he trades under mchh_led_design. He can do all mk2 switchgear so he might be able to help.

anyone know how to check the connections are working on this? as i think i might have loosened or broke something when changing matrix.
