T25 headlight! Fog light and hazard switch illumination

Post by mshaw1980 »

Hello

Just wondered if when you turn on the ignition or headlights if the switches are supposed to light up? When I activate the actual switch (hazards, fog lamp switch) the light in the switch seem to work. The heater control lights up with the headlights as have added a nice led and shines quite nicely and the handbrake warning lamp works ok. So the problem is the fog, hazard and headlight switch. Can't see the switches in the dark :(

I noticed on my headlight switch that the 'push fit' bulb holder and the actual earth wire for the light appears to be missing. Any ideas?

Fanx all :ok

The headlight switch doesn't illuminate on any stock T3, but I think some have transplanted one from a different vw that does..

Only the hazard light switch on later models illuminated.
