Title: ash tray light
Post by sally on Feb 28^th, 2006, 10:27pm

the bulb and holder hve fell out of my ash tray , what way up do u hve to feed it back in ? i belive its nr the lighter , when it hit a certin part though the bulb do not come on instead it light up the pannel where the speedo is ??? but move it slightly and the bulb light up instead i dont want to put it back if the bulb dont go out whe the draw is closed as that would drain the battery over night prob in this weather , and ive read up that to completly remove the ash tray u hve to take of all the pannels ? is that right to ?

It took me nearly an hour to figure how to get the bulb holder out of the ashtray :-/ 10 secs to change the bulb ;D and 3 litres of coffee & 2 packs of cigs before I summoned up the courage to get the thing back in :-[ Having seen a few threads about using LEDs I think next time it goes I'll use one of those instead!

Oh no, I've just remembered - it's got one in the back as well, here's to a sleepless night just thinking about doing that one :'(

Don't even want to think about how to get the whole thing in again afterwards..
