even I have the same problem but the thing is that here in Malta we can only buy them from OPEL or LEPO (which gets fake opel products). so please tell me if you know any company which would send them to me.

1.2w would be too dull?

Dont change 1 bulb, do all 3 at once in my advice. I think there are 3:boggle: Did mine around 3 weeks ago but i didnt know where to look for the bulbs so ripped the whole centre console out, disconnected all the heater/fan cables etc. Looking back was a piece of piss, even easier if i knew where the bulbs were in the first place! :lol:

(got my bulbs off addictive E-Bay, 99p for ten.........went to halfords, they wanted 1.49EACH for Bosch ones, fcuk that!)

Tis the bulb behind the knob with which you can direct air at either windscreen/feet/ etc... not desperate for a new bulb no, will wait for them all to blow before getting new ones then lol :D

thanks guys!!

Its very tricky to replace the first time you do it though, Vauxhall charge around £80 for the 3 bulbs (fitting).

You need a lot of patience to do it, so if you dont have that, then it's best that you leave it - do you really need the bulb anyway?
