UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi Ive recently bought a mk 4 polo so thought id join a forum

When driving at night I am unable to see my gauges cos there is not any light. My clock and mileometer are illuminated but I cannot see anything else. Fuse has been checked and all ok.

Any ideas

well if its not the fuse try replacing the two bulps in the top of the instrument panel

Thanks

Being a complete novice (this is my 1st car) can these bulbs be purchased from Halfords etc or do i have to go to a specialist place?

Yeah you can get them from halfords, there should be instructions in your cars manual that tell you how to remove and refit the bulbs, its not too much of a job.

Just one other thing before you change them though, check that you havent simply turned the bulbs down, theres a circular switch below the main light switch that can be used to turn the instrument lights on and off.

Thanks for the help

Nah ive checked that switch thing. Its on full so must be the bulbs. I'll check halfords at lunch
