I read recently on this forum that there is a bulb for the headlight switch. Is this true? If so, mine is burnt out. How do you replace it?

Wow - did'nt mean to start a mile long thread again. I guess all I really need to know is how to replace it.

 

Just carefully pry the cover off with a small flat screw driver and you will see the bulb.

Pull the whole **** straight off. That is what I did on my 95.

 

BINGO!!! Very easy. Once the **** is pulled off the bulb can be removed by pulling it out with your fingers. Installation of the bulb is the reverse of the steps.

 

I keep a couple of spares in the trunk/boot along with the rubber wiper arm bumper, DME relay, and spare fan belts.

 

Another +1 for pulling the **** straight off ...

If one cannot get a grip on the bulb, push a small piece of tygon tubing/vacuum hose over it - and it pulls out easily.

 

OK, looked through the above attached thread and don't want to start this all over again. The reason I'm asking, I replaced my headlight switch cover and didn't look to see a bulb or even noticed one. That night while driving, I noticed that the switch didn't light up. I could'nt remember if it dd before or not. I looked over my PET manual and there is not a bulb listed for the headlight ****. Now I'm confused. In the above link, everyone was pretty adamant that there is a bulb and some even said they replaced it. That post was referring to the headlight **** bulb. Could the answers have been referring to the heated mirror **** bulb, fog light **** bulb or cigarette lighter bulb? All those have a bulb and it's very easy to replace. Are there some years that have a bulb in the headlight switch **** and some don't?

 

You're no fun.....

A couple of spare headlight switch bulbs???

You mean to tell me the cigarette lighter has a bulb in? Oh no, here we go again!

 

Umm, not the cigarette lighter. What I meant to type was rear window defroster ****. Back to the question, does anyone have a headlight switch **** that light's up?

 

Pull the round switch off and you will see the small light bulb inside, the bulbs can be purchased at any auto parts store. Easy fix!

 

go buy a 2721 bulb, pull the **** off of the HEADLIGHT switch and plug the bulb wire end first. click the **** back on. done. simple as that.
