headlight switch "bulb ?"

[Tom Q]

I noticed on other 202's that their headlight switch has some kind of orange light at the center. I pulled out the switch and didn't find any bulb. Am I missing a bulb?

Maybe you're missing more than that ? :D
Sorry, couldn't help myself.
That yellow bulb turns on, when you pull the switch out to activate the fog lights. ;)

:( It doesn't turn on when I pull it for the fog lamps either.


...... few mods...I'm telling your wife...;)

Did you pull it out after the first stop? The 2nd pull turns on the rear red fog light which will make your headlight switch glow.

[Tom Q]

it doesn't for both "pulls":(

you do have the rear fog light though, right??

[Tom Q]

yup I do.

I pulled out the knob. Is there supposed to be a bulb there?

If you see an empty hole, someone "stole" your bulb. May need to pick up a replacement at an MB Parts Dept.

I noticed mine doesn't illuminate anymore. How do you pull out the knob to replace it btw?

[Tom Q]

My bulb is missing :mad: That's why it doesn't illuminate.

kameraguy,

There are no micro screws. Just pull the knob out.

Did you replace your bulb yet Tom? Is it cool now?

I'll try this later tonight too. Thanks guys :)

[Tom Q]

where did you buy the bulb? Do you have the part number (bulb number)?

[detroit202]

if ur lucky you can find it for about 40-50$ on ebay

just kidding !

i only use the rear fog light when people are tailgating me

you should see how they slam on the breaks if you pull it real quick

[Tom Q]

I step on the brake pedal just enough to light it. It's funny how they suddenly brake.:)

I got home too late to pass by the dealership last night. I'll try and stop by this afternoon and let you know the part# if they have it.
