Car Forum / Citroen Cars / June 2005Xantia Instrument Panel
Greetings from Norfolk The indicator lamp for the headlights (dipped beam) has failed and I need (I hope) only to replace the bulb. Can anybody tell me how to access the bulb, is it through the fuse panel, or how? Thanks - Richard.

Removing a windbag wheel isn't *THAT* bad a job - as long as you remember to give it time to discharge the capacitors. Remove the battery, go for a cuppa and a natter - by the time you get back, it's ready. > > i know someone who went for the backlight of the temp needle. not sure > > exactly how its to be done but if i remember rightly its a steering [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Remove the battery, go for a cuppa and a natter - by the time you get back, > it's ready. I need to get it done before the MOT - apparently it is a requirement of the test! Fortunately test is not due until January 2006 so have 6 months to sort. > I need to get it done before the MOT - apparently it is a requirement > of the test! It isn't. www.motuk.co.uk gives the full tester manual. > > I need to get it done before the MOT - apparently it is a requirement > > of the test! > > It isn't. > > www.motuk.co.uk gives the full tester manual. no. it most certainly isn't. IIRC main beam internal blue light is a requirement for MOT as are FOG lights (orange). but dipped beam certainly isn't. >> > I need to get it done before the MOT - apparently it is a requirement >> > of the test! >> It isn't. > no. it most certainly isn't. > > IIRC main beam internal blue light is a requirement for MOT No, it isn't. Nor is an indicator warning light, as long as there's an audible warning of the indicators. > as are FOG lights (orange) The colour's not specified, but a warning light is. > >> > I need to get it done before the MOT - apparently it is a requirement > >> > of the test!

( i did replace the bulb however, its only right that it should work its just not an MOT failure) ROb |
