Dash illumination
Is there a bulb on the dash that lights up when your headlights are on? I can't remember if it does or not? As mine ain't working if this is the case :/

That one ONLY lights up when you have main/full beam on, otherwise, there isn't one.

Yep if it's a Newage Model, They have a green light in your main dash cluster towards the top right side, comes on with sidelights and headlights and a blue one for main beam

The green one you can't change it's a led that's soldered into the circuit board! But high beam is changeable! Wtf is that all about ?

Top left bulbs are interchangeable and are for main beam and seatbelt light, but the one for the green dipped beam light seems to be non existent or it must be an led somewhere in the circuit board?
Can anyone shed some light on this?

There is no bulb whatsoever for the green light , you would need to be very good with a soldering iron to do that I would say, just can't believe you can't change it along With the rest of them

Why do u need to though ? The rest are for illumination which u want brighter , but the warning/indacator lights just need to light up.
Edit - unless like u , its not working
i will have a look at mine later as i am not 100% sure mine works either !

Are we sure there is actually an LED there?
It's not something ELSE the Japs missed off our cars, is it?

Well there definately isn't any screw in type bulb for the green bulb so it has to be a led somewhere,as the diff oil temp etc don't have replaceable bulbs but obviously still illuminate

It doesn't illuminate and there is no bulb for it at all, so..... It must be a led like the diff oil warning lamps
