  • backlights in switches

    Just installed a aftermarket OE looking fog light switch for my driving lights and it backlights with the parkers-headlight on all wired and looks great.

    but i notice the mirror switch and the dimmer control does not light up are they suposed to???? the 2nd start switch does but it dont always stay on "faulty globe maybe" if they are suposed to be backlit has anyone taked apart the switches and replaced the globe?? is it possible

    Thanks Billbo

    I had the same problem when I installed my two light switches beside the Diff Lock switch / Cig lighter socket. The switch came out very easily and the bulb is just a bayonet screw in from the side. Luckily when I took it out and put it back in again it worked. Bulb looked to be a standard instrument type of plastic base wedge.

      Cool yeah it look like the mirror switch and dimmer dont have lights but will pull the 2nd start witch out and look might just need
      to clean the contacts on the bulb or i might have a replacement laying around as have a few odd bulbs i collected over my time

          The 4 wires should be
          - -ve
          - from high beam
          - to relay
          - ignition or dash illumination (see this post http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...l=1#post371808).

              That's the switch works good nice orange backlight and the icon lights up when hibeam on switch on if you putting switch next to mirror/dimmer the green wire on the dimmer plug will give u +12 when dash lights headlight are on
