I was really impressed with the ambient lighting in a facelift W211 E-Class I recently drove. I noticed that there's an amber bulb in the bottom of the rear view mirror in a 2005 C-Class courtesey car I've driven today - not as slick as the W211, but an improvement over the apparent lack of...

Hello all. In my 500E the dial to switch on the headlights, fogs etc only lights up in the centre when the rear foglights are on? Is the whole thing supposed to light up at night when the rest of the interior switches are iluminated? Dave!

I'm not sure if any one can help, have just brought 2001 Cabriolet and neither outside temp or clock LCDs work, any ideas? Thanks

Hi there I've recently bought the SLK--fantastic-- but I find the headlights really naff, especially on high beam. I've tried uprated bulbs to no avail.Can any one help???

Hi, Yesterday all my dashboard lights went out. I've checked the fuses and all are OK. Has any one had any problems with the dimmer control on the clocks and is it tricky to get them out? Many thanks.

Hello all! New to this board. I have just bought a 98 C240 Elegance for my father to replace his old 1994 BMW 525TDS. When I bought the car the heater panel illumination wasn't working so i managed to changed the bulbs for that. However I have noticed that the switch panel that controls the...

Can anyonew confirm whether or not the dash lights up around the headlight control knob on the right of the steering wheel? When i put the lights on all the rest of the dash controls light up but the ones around the headlight control knob don't. I suspect the previous owner who had an...

One of the lights on the d/b, c220 99 has failed, causing the display to be dim and although still useable i'd like to fix it. Any tips on replacingthe bulbs? Thanks

I'm hoping to provide the answer to my mate's W123 limo lighting issue. All interior lights are out apart from the aircon switch. Now I know on later models there is a bulb that acts as a fuse in the instrument binnacle. Does anyone know if this is the same for W123's and if so, if the...

My mates 1994 W124 E320 Coupe's instrument and center console (heating and a/c, electric window switches) lights have all gone out, all at the same time. I thought it was a fuse, so checked fuse box. All fuses are fine. Before the lights went, Colin (my mate) had been frequently twiddling...

Hi, My dad has a T plate C 220 CDI, the lights around the aircon and fan dials has stopped working, can anyone give me some tips on fixing it. I'm guessing it's just a bulb. Thanks Carlos ( http://www.uk-mkivs.net/ ) EDIT - Sorry for putting this in the wrong place :( Looks like the...

Well I finally managed to get some proper blue lighting for my CLK. I changed the interior bulbs for 3" cold cathode lamps, 2 per bulb because of the intensity. These things are 12v so easily wire across the standard bulb holders. For the map reading light, I used a trio of high intensity...

OK, I got the illumated door sills in and working just fine. So now I got this blue light theme going and I don't mean the rozzers. Has anyone successfully converted the interior lighting to blue. I built a 6 LED blue cluster for an interior light today, but it really didn't compare to...
