Side lights

Post by lancyman » Thu Aug 22, 2013 1:43 pm

Hi wise people,

Before my mot last week I changed the the bulbs
I had in my bongo back to the standard ones.
Just in case. Now the bulbs I put in are stuck
And aren't working. What's the best way to get them
Out, and to get them up and running again.

Thanks in advance.

Lube them with some WD40 .. check the bulb holder contacts are clean when fitting new bulbs ..

one of the left indicators isnt flashing so the other flashes faster..

Either that or you have led ones in which have inadequate resistance

Sorted. You were right. The left indicator was
Off. Patched it up again now.

Also .. as the 'tell tale' light on dashboard would be flashing a lot faster ... it acts as a warning that one of the Indies is not working..
