Hi all,
Hope not a daft question, i am rarely driving the Bongo at night, what lights up on the dash, i think that i might have the bulb/s out on the wing mirror adjuster switch (If there is one)?
Cheers
Paul.

Not at all...

Quite by accident i found the secret to highlighting the switch features in darkness...

Come on Jay, what's the secret
I thought it seemed strange that the switch plate did not light up as it would be a good idea to see it like the other switches at night

OK

I have had the switch apart... (In the early throws of auto mirror closure on locking i fried but
did repair a small section of the PCB.)
There is no room for a bulb & the switch front don't allow light through like the other switches... So there!!
But, the back-light from my drivers window switch throws a blue hue on the mirror switch in pitch black!
PS; Paul, yer package is wrapped & ready to go! Should be in the post soon...

How often do you adjust your wing mirrors at night?

Thanks to those who have sent helpful replies, i need to reverse on my drive and park very near the side of my wall that seperates me from my neighbour, so yes i do adjust my mirrors at night
