darvvader Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hello everyone, I'm hoping for a little help regarding my interior map light. When I bought the car there was no problem, when the door was opened or the car turned on the auto light came on perfectly. However, I then changed the bulb to a same fitment, different colour bulb. That's where the problem began: When it's 'off' - on the left side - it's off. When it's on 'auto' - in the middle - it's constantly on. When it's 'on' - on the right side - it's off. I now have no light when it's needed and when I leave the light on (middle/constant) and lock the car it stays on permanently. I honestly have no idea what to do so any help or advice would be gladly appreciated! Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Is it an LED light? That shouldn't be a problem, but I would try putting the original bulb back in just to make sure everything is working as it should, and go from there. I don't know if it could just be that you put the bulb in the wrong way, but surely that would stop it from lighting at all (whereas with a halogen bulb the orientation doesn't matter).

ScottlGH Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 When I changed my bulbs to LEDs i found that they weren't going fully in the socket and that some only worked when the contacts were a certain way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
