    auto gear stick globe

    I noticed today, that my auto lights on the drivers side of my gear stick do not light up...

    I was wondering... how do i change that/those globes, or is it a loose wire perhaps causing the problem?

    The globes burn out There are two of them). Do not replace them with the specified 5 watt globes. Get 3 watt globes. The 5 watt ones are too hot and melt the plastic where the bulb holders insert.

    See "Carefully prise..." - there are pics and instructions.
