Failed Rear Indicator Bulb - Mystery Begins….


Raffe

Recommended Posts

A friend who is mechanically competent has a failed indicator bulb on his rear cluster and upon inspection and scouring net can’t find a way to replace.

Anyone got any help/experience on doing this as surely this can’t write off a cluster.

I’m hoping it’s some peculiar way of doing it……

They are not bulbs (checked on PET first) unfortunately they appear to be sealed LED clusters.  I had similar issue with The Better ½'s first VW EOS, only option was a new light cluster; in that case fortunately Hella who did the OE units also did aftermarket ones at a third the price of a factory one.

Start calling the various breakers, or there might be a specialist out there that fixes them like with dash clusters and so on.

Thank you sir, appreciated. I’ll share the bad news with him 😬

Perhaps chat to @Madlil ?

I do have a spare set of rear 981 lights but am planning to keep them to put back on the car when the day comes to sell. That way I can sell the GTS lights and claw back a bigger chunk of cash. Sorry. 
 

FWIW I think the ones on eBay are decent value at £230
