illumination

Having read other posts about this I am still without dash illumination in my beloved E220 and seeking further assistance please. I have removed the instrument cluster and replaced the 2 3W3 bulbs, checked the red fuse (OK) and fiddled with the dimmer switch (OK). I have checked with a...

On my CLK on the dashboard(after turning on lights) the clock background and hour hands illuminate but on the rev counter and speedo it is only the needles that illuminate. I have searched threads but appears inconclusive .The fuel and temp leds bars work fine etc.Apparently whole cluster may...

A mate has a '52 plate W211 E320cdi. He's had loads of trouble with it but the latest was when the car had electrical faults including the aircon being permanently 'off', so it was in the Mercedes dealer (name & location witheld at this stage) for several days. They eventually diagnosed the...

I have for sale some illumination sun visor clips w202 pre facelift. This is an easy mod £8 delivered to your door.

Hi i want to do the sun visor illumination mod i have some questions are the contact clips together for both sides? Or are they separate? And would a visor contact clip from w210 be compatible with my w202 dome light?

Just realized that the bulb, which illuminates the headlight switch doesn't work :( It says "12v 0.5w" on it, but I'm having a hard time finding one. Had a look on eBay, but nothing :confused: Halfords? MB or what? P.S. BIG thank you for this >...

The illumination for the gear selector on my 94 E220 estate is dead, needs a new bulb no doubt. Does anyone know which bits need to be removed in which order so that I can replace the bulb? I need to do some on the heater controls also but have found this thread for those instructions :D

The woes continue! :doh: Noticed last night while reversing the car out of the garage I had no dashboard lights - the warning lights etc. are all fine, but the back light that should come on when the headlights are on doesn't seem to be working. Another strange thing is that my foglights...

My 1994 W124 E220 has no lighting in some of the switches, namely the heater controls and the auto gear selector - this is a bit of a pain at night. Is this a blown fuse or are all the bulbs likely to have gone over time and none of them replaced. Also the instrument binnacle illumination...

I am trying to figure out whether the heater controls on my W124 (1993 300e) should be illuminated or not. The dial parts with the arrows on are that control fan speed and airflow are lit up, but the circular dials to control temperature (red to blue) are not. I don't know if they are meant to...

ML 270 - Got a couple of problems really, one is the dash board/consul illumination lights are not working but the electronic mileage reader etc is. The other is i pushed the passenger seat as far forward as i could to clean underneath and when i wanted to bring it back into it's original...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum and hope that someone might be able to help. W124 E280 Estate which had a couple of bulbs out on the aircon controls and one of the air vent lights. Used the forum to find out how to get to them and duly changed them. All went well except for one tiny...

Does anyone know how to remove the air vents, I didn't know they were supposed to be illuminated until a friend got in the car the other night and commented that his W124 has illuminated air vent controls. Must be a simple fix but am reluctant to go prising them off in case I break something...

Hi, I am a new member and I have a 2001 CLK cabriolet. The panel near the gear stick (containing roof switch and window switches etc) doesn't light up at night when the headlights are on. The rest of the dashboard and switches on the aircon panel do light up though. Does anyone know if the...

The light switch on my 2005 CLK does not illuminate at night. ie the various symbols - sidelights, headlights etc are not visible. A. Is this switch supposed to be illuminated at night? B. Does anyone know how to fix it?! Thanks.

Right, my dash extraction tools arrived from Germany last night and so I got to work this morning fixing the missing pixels in my dash display. Temp is working perfectly now and the clock is almost there but on the clock side its suddenly gone dim and the dash bulbs wont light up either...

What size are the bulbs that illuminate the rear number plate (length and width preferably)? I was going to strip away the boot lining today to find out but it's hammering down with rain and I really don't want to get soaked. If anyone knows what size bulbs it takes (i'm assuming they're the...

The illumination of the right side of the digital dash info panel on my 1999 CLK 320 appears to have failed. I can still read the information but it is no illuminated. This is affecting only the right third of the dash. Is there a bulb I need to replace or is this not repairable. I've had...
