Hi, does anyone have a source for the main beam LED please? Tried VW and they currently can't get them.

Thanks for any help.

A knackered instrument cluster is a good source. :yup:

I might have some spare LED's. Just the blue one?

Having said that LED's rarely fail, it's more likely damage to the flexible PCB, or a poor connection, I would check that as well.

Yes but I think it's just a yellow one as the cover is blue.

Being a pedant here I know, but the main beam warning lamp is actually a very small light bulb with a blue cover over it, you might be able to find something suitable at maplins or similar if no one on here can help. I'll have a look when i get home.

See attached, the kinked leg means that it will only fit one way.

I'll pop it down to you if you pm me your address, but check the rest of the traces on the pcb as well.
