V50 Trim : Vanity Mirror

[direwolf]

My wife has informed me that the lights on this have stopped working. I have looked at it and it seems like a dodgy switch on the lid....Not that mired to do anything about it unless it is an easy fix....you can get the lights on if you keep opening and closing the lid thingy..... If it can be fixed for a couple of quid for a part, maybe I will get on to it...if it's a fifty quid effort, will live with it!

Good luck with a fix..... I think.

I'm sure someone will know?

I would suspect it is just the bulb that has gone?

It is a quick easy fix if it is.

Vanity mirror lighting
1. Insert a screwdriver under the center of the lower edge of the mirror, turn it, and carefully pry up the lugs at the edge.
2. Move the screwdriver under the edge on the left and right-hand sides (near the black rubber sections) and pry carefully to release the lower edge of the mirror.
3. Pry carefully and lift out the entire mirror and the cover.
4. Remove the defective bulb and replace it with a new one.
5. To reinstall the mirror, begin by pressing the three lugs at the upper edge of the mirror back into place.
6. Press the three lower lugs back into place.

Aha, so it is just "one bulb"...I thought there must be two, one either size of the mirror....so I thought the switch might be duff as neither side lights up....so this might be worth a go..any idea of the bulb type?... If not, I will remove it and try locally to get another.
