Title: Headlight/ tail light warning
Post by: cuecol on 05 December 2011, 16:25:58

Mystery problem.  My headlight/tail light check came on and I found my number plate lamp gone. Replaced it ok, but warning will not go away. I have checked every light, they all ok. Any ideas please. ta.

Number plate light isn't covered by the lamp check. What car is it? Pre face lift saloons have a stop/tail AND a tail light each side, have you checked both?  :y :y

And don't use cheapo bulbs.  ;) ;)

Thx for the reply.  2.0 CDX SALOON. Every lamp, inc. fogs all on. ??

If qulaity bulbs fixes it, it's to do with the internal current of cheapo ones vs. decent ones.

Halfords bulbs known to cause this issue - either Vx (expensive) or Ring appear to be OK ;)

I had a similar sounding problem - cured by replacing Halfords stop/tail bulbs with genuine Vauxhall ones.  Around 70p each IIRC, not overly expensive!
