tigger Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hi Folks,The 'headlights on' warning light on the dash of my wife's GTi has decided to go on strike. Has anybody on here replaced this particular warning light and if so, how?I expect it's probably going to be either a nightmare job or a dealer one but I live in hope Hope somebody out there can help.

JoeA Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 i don't think it would be the actual bulb inside the clocks as they're SMDs but, if it is, you'd need new clocks. Its more likely to be whatever tells that light to engage from the headlights, so a fuse, a relay etc. Someone on here will be able to help you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 What light are you talking about? The one above the switch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I think he means the full beam light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Ahh right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Folks,It's the green (I think) headlight symbol that comes on within the instrument pod when you put the headlights on, not main beam, that still works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 OK, so some of you may have spotted that I don't drive my wife's Lupo very often and neither does she since being given a company car. The result being that when she drove it recently in the dark, she came home and told me the 'headlights on' lamp on the dash wasn't working, the A class she's been given which she drives every day has one so that was her comparison.Having had a few minutes this morning to investigate a little further, there isn't a 'headlight' warning lamp, just a 'rear fog light' lamp and a 'main beam' lamp as confirmed by checking the handbook.......Oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
