Title: Replacing headlamp bulb query
Post by: Rich-K on 18 September 2012, 13:00:03
53 plate Vec 2.0 dti elite (non xenon).  I  have replaced the drivers side dipped beam headlamp bulb, now indicator lamp comes on steady (ie not flashing) with headlights. Indicators work normally with and without headlights. Also getting a message on display to check the parking light.  I have checked for trapped wires etc that may be causing a short, cant see anything obvious.  Does anyone have any ideas Please?

The earth connection on that lamp is faulty.

Just a quick update. It turns out, that when I replaced the headlamp bulb, the new one had a manufacturing fault., which resulted in failure within 3 weeks. Now replaced with another bulb from a different supplier. All lights working fine, and no messages on the display.

Another reason to use branded bulbs & not cheapo bulbs from Halfords/etc  :y :y :y
