no parking lights or background lighting for speedo
« on: Jun 13, 2010, 12:29AM »
Hey guys, im thinking more than likely its a fuse thats the problem but my parking lights are not working at all, checked the globes and they're all good and normal lights work fine.

The other issue is that i have no background lighting for my speedo and tacho so when driving at night i can only see my speed thanks to the headsup display. The indicating signals on the dash light up when you turn them on but just those background lights.

Will appreciate any ideas until tomorrow and i can pull out the fuses and check

I think it's marked 'tail lights'

Have you fitted a radio to the car recently?

finally got some time to take a look at her and yeah jono, got it in one, the one labelled 'tail lights' was the right one.

Thanks
