    The 2 bulbs in 2 square shape switches on the instrument panel below stereo have gone out one and the one for the fuel cap next to the gear lever has gone out. Do you have to replace the switches or can the bulbs be changed in them.

    Bit of a strange one this - I've checked the switches that we have in stock and it would depend what switch you require whether there is a bulb "wired" in or the switch comes without a bulb. I would have thought you should be able to get a bulb somewhere, best advise would be to pull out the switches that are not illuminating and go from there. We do have some of the switches, but not all - let me know what switches are at fault and I will check our stock.

    The switches at fault are the fuel open catch switch next to gear lever and upper console switch in the middle of the cluster of 5 which shows a letter P with a light symbol on it.

    How much are the switches...?

    The switch with letter P with a light symbol has a bulb attached to the switch but has been soldered in. Can a new buld be soldered in ? Where to the buy the bulbs ?

    Not sure how the bulb for the switch for the fuel cap is
    Any ideas about replacing them ??

    We do not have the petrol release switch, but I see no reason why a replacement bulb could not be soldered, the difficult thing will be locating a bulb, the same goes for the other switch, which I think has a different type of bulb - is it a "capless bulb" if so they are readily available from Halfords etc ?

    Here's the switch, but since it's brand new, I'm reluctant to take it apart and investigate the bulbs. Another Fchatter ordereed it, but after some investigation, decided it wasn't needed.
