keyring light to led

[craig_the_german]

Great Thread !

Hi all,

This is certainly a great thread. I think this repair/mod would also apply to the MK4s as well, I know that key looks a lot like mine and my light isn't working either.

Thanks guys

and the cost of a new one was $70 according to VW australia

$70 is the cost of a whole new key, not just the bulb. (Of course it's then lots more to have then thing coded to work with your car (if you need it)).

thats why i said or you can get one on ebay, and it was a link to a whole key not just a bulb...

Just cannot get it to work. 3mm LED just moves around too much!!!!
Will try again w/ 5mm led.
Any hints and/or tips?

Yep, hot glue fixes everything

Mad props .. thats a brilliant idea ...

When i first got my golf i spent weeks wondering why the light never did anything when you press the button .. infact i originally wondered why the doors didnt unlock too .. silly old me was unaware they dont come with remote central .. thats not a problem anymore though
