Interior Light

Post by alanred »

After leaving my interior light on all night :shock: it's stopped working !
When i open the doors (both) the puddle lights come on, but the interior light will not work at all, even if it's switched to on. After locking the door i get the red flashing led, and if i open the door with the headlights on i get the buzzer, so i can assume that the micro-switch in the door is ok.
What i need to know is, has anyone had to buy one of the light units and how much are they ?

Thank you.

Yeah, checked the bulb it's ok. Took the light out of the car, rubbed the electrical points on the back, put it back and it's working now ?
Top notch build quality :shock:

Thanks anyway.

Go on, talk to us about your puddle lights - please! I've got them on the Passat but never thought about the Polo getting them.

Is that not just a reflector? How do you remove the festoon bulb from the interior light? It has blown the two map lights work but the festoon one in the middle has gone off.
