Hi all, after ongoing trouble with the reversing lights (RL) on my wife's Tdi I've decided to sort them out, once & for all.
The story so far:
The lights stopped worked and I found that the RL switch was finished, so I ordered and installed a new switch. All was well for a while then they ceased to function - adjusted the switch and all was good - for a while. Now they are no longer working and I've had enough of this silly little but irritating fault.
So my plan is to replace the LR switch with a manual illuminated one and install it on the elec windows control panel. Anyone got any ideas where I might get such a thing? Ideally something of a rocker switch style.
Once the existing LR gearbox switch has been replaced with the above, I then plan to modify the RL's at the back, a little. I reckon that if I take out one of the RL bulbs and use it's elec feed I can then run a rear gutter-mounted worklight to improve rearward vision.
Any comments on this??
Cheers in advance
Dave
