    Unknown bulbs for instrument panel

    Hi all,
    Just wondering if anyone could tell me what these bulbs are for or where they should be located. The previous owner had taken them out and im trying to find out why and then fix the problems. Any help appreciated. Thanks

    The single one in your first pic, goes to the cluster. ABS, Check engine light??

    The two in your hand in the second pic, should be for the headlight switch.

      Just checked, you're in Ireland. The two in the second pic could also be for the headlamp height aim adjuster.

        Yep, that's what I saw on my touring when I deleted the headlight aim adjuster.


        Other light could be for the light switch illumination or ABS fault light.

          Thanks both of you for your input. I didnt think my car had headlight adjusters but maybe they were removed.

            The system is hydraulic and leaks. It's very difficult to rebuild.
