Title: Light Switch Panel
Post by: gwa on 06 October 2008, 17:18:33
Right, now before I set to with a screwdriver  :-/ how does the panel containing the light, fog & spot switches and adjusters come off?  :-[ I don't want to bu$$er it up so thought I'd post to the experts. Oh, the panel doesn't light so i want to check that its connected then go get a bulb. TIA  :y

Thanks TB. Oh, I've had the G/B Switch sorted on Saturday and it now goes like a dream (fingers x'd). I'll run it this week and pop by next Monday if thats OK. Cheers  :y

Same trick but with knives - cards would be awkward.

Hi TB, for those of us that do not live near you...any chance you can roughly explain the trick to doing this...I know what they look like out the car but is there a specific angle or summat to avoid bending the retaining clips when removing?

Come in from as high as poss, and get behind the clips, then bring knives forward - ie, trying to depress the clips by coming from behind them.

I use the ones that I eat with - just don't tell her ::)

Its a fairly flat/blunt blade, bit like shape of butterknife.

Just FYI you have a LED and a lightbulb (1.2v) in there. In my case only LED was not working. I soldered a lightbulb instead - cause that is what I had available.
