yep they should light up when in either mode. dunno, replace your bulbs with blue ones and see if that fixes it lol :twisted:

most likely bulbs, when i bought mine i had to replace 3 of them, 1 in the clock, the "D" in the cluster and 1 in the rev counter... common fault but easily fixed.... i mean you dont expect a bulb to last more than 10 years do you?

triptronic gear lights

Post by johhnnie »

when i got the car it was fitted with the dash from a manual as there were no markings on the rev counter for the gears ,, so i bought the dash cluster from an auto but to me at the back of the cluster where there should be like 8 lights for in auto and sport mode , these holes are covered by the flexible electronic board .


ps: no lights come on when in auto or sport
