Multivan dash/ glovebox lamp

Post by Candyred89 »

Hi there,

Can anyone advise me please where or what vehicle I might find a replacement interior dash lamp for my multivan. It above the glove box on the dash and is just a small interior lamp basically, mine has seen better days and keeps falling out of its recess.
Any ideas would be most appreciated
Kind regards
Nigel :ok

The one in my van kept doing the same thing, falling out then shorting on the dash board
I was going to replace it until I saw the price :shock: :shock:
So I heated it up with the wife's hair dryer and GENTLY bent back the lugs that locate in it the dashboard hole, it seems to be okay now :ok

Thanks for the replies, I wasn't expecting it to be that expensive. My lamp has lost one of its lugs so I might struggle to bodge it. I will try though. Someone has told me that the rear of a t4 also has small lights like on our vans, if I find out they are same I'll let you all know on here, for info.
Thanks again
