Hi guys

I recently bought an fto and i never checked to see if the reading lamp was actually working, And of course one night i needed to find something in the car so i went to turn on the reading lamp and to my shock horror there was no bulbs in it?

So is anyone able to tell me what bulbs in need to put in there?

38mm or 41mm bayonet bulbs will fit in there

Make sure the bulb clips are clicked in to the inside of the mirror firmly and they are not floating around where they can touch the reflectors above where the bulb should be... I learnt that the hard way

would have thought that would blow a fuse, if it was shorting to something...

When it happened to me the fuse was blowing intermittently, not always. Maybe the bulb is getting too hot and burning the foam around it.

Its the one on the right that just wont stop smoking, the left bulb is fine so i gues i'll just leave it like that for now.

Thanks for your help everyone
