Reversing lights

[freespirit]

Hi to all .
I have just bought a second hand Vito and one question ?
Are the reversing lights crap or has previous owner got the wrong bulbs in ?
Appreciate any help . Cheers

Do you have an Owners Manual that you can check them against for the correct bulbs?
Have you checked the voltage and wattage of the bulbs which are fitted?

No I haven't checked anything yet , I haven't got a manual yet , only used them tonight for the first time in the dark .
Any ideas where to get a manual from ?
Cheers

According to the above manual the reversing light bulbs should be standard 21w. When checking them, just make sure they are 12volt and not 24volt as used in heavy goods vehicles. Quite possibly someone has used the wrong voltage bulb.
