Omega electric sunroof illumination
« on: 11 September 2008, 09:28:58 »

Hi - does anyone know how to change the bulb in the sunroof switch? have tried to pull the round switch itself off but don't want to force it in case it breaks  :-/

Some, believe it or not, are officially new sunrood ecu ;D

Ones that arent,  tug on knob (;)), then remove light guide, then you can get to bulb.

Thanks All - I managed to pull the switch off (choosing my words carefully!) and can see the clips that hold in the "light guide", will investigate further at the weekend and hopefully a replacement bulb will fix it - I only realised that the sunroof switch should light up after seeing it in a friends Omega, must be a common failure as all my previous Omega's didnt have an illuminated sunroof switch panel.

Its very common to be honest.  One of mine I replaced the bulb, one I haven't, as I'm not convinced I like it light up as its slightly distracting at night imho...

Or .... dare I say, the dealers! That's where mine came from. IIRC the Omega sunroof I fitted to my Senator had a soldered in lamp/bulb, whereas my Omega has a push in lamp - as Jamie described.
