Phreddy who is a sponsor (ASR-Audio), or Ant (wrx884) who is his WA contact for dash lighting and associated work.

Shoot either of them a PM (private message). They may or may not tell you as they do run businesses and change these items in exchange for $$$$.

If they don't tell you, then I am sure you could post to one of them and they will send it back completed.

My personal opinion would be to change the whole dash lighting while your at it. I realise that you only want one blown globe replaced, but why not entertain the thought and go the whole hog I have had it done by Ant (wrx884) in my VZ Calais and it looks brilliant.

I am doing the entire dash just not too sure how to change the headlight switch globe is all the rest are a simple twist and pull

[wrx884]

these globe r soldered in place so ud need 2 solder in new LEDs so there not like the twist pull type.

Did the light used to work ? reason i ask is that some of the low spec commodores didn't have iluminated headlight switches, like my VX S .I pulled mine apart and there was no LED s in it .From memory the switches with the white back are luminated and the black ones aren't.

ive never seen a headlight switch that doesnt light up, id say urs may have been tampered with previously and replaced? coz all the white back and mainly black back switches have globes in them. The white backs r actually the early VT's.

Its a feature in these as soon as u turn ur igniton on these light up so u can see where ur switch is in the dark.

I bought another one from the wreckers from a VT exec and it didn't light up and when i pulled it apart there were no LEDs in that one too

[wrx884]

ive got a VT exec and mine had the globes? ive done a few base models 2 and not 1 ive come across yet thats doesnt but saying that anything is possible i guess but sounds like some1 has taken the globes out already, mayb they took them 4 their own that was blown?

ur VX should have definatly had them tho.

They might have taken them out , But whats the chances of it happening twice ? Maybe it could have been the LED fairy that took them lol.
