Interior Lights

Does the P R N D lettering on the auto gearbox light up when you have the lights on at night - just noticed mine dont, the + - is lit on the other side and think that the PRND should be lit. Anyone care to check and see if theirs lights up.

I can't see at present as it is too bright down here! 34 degrees and a bit hot. My ute is a very close relative but it should be the same.

Yep they light up. The P(ark) is red the others white.

Having had a read of the "how it works" manual for my ute. It has a country night-time lighting setting for the instrument panel and dash.
On the lighting dial to the right of the steering wheel (The dial that has Auto and above that + - ). If you press + - simultaneously and hold for 2 or 3 seconds, it switches off a lot of the panel lighting including the Auto selector and Climate panel lighting. Press them simultaneously again and they light everything back up again. If that doesn't work, may have to pay a visit to the dealer or the fish for a new bulb(s)

Yeah, all you get is the speedo backlit. I hate unnecessary lights inside the car, so I love this.

Re gearbox lights PRND - bulb had blown, guy showed me how to access them - easy when you know how lol

Re Driving lights - there was a fuse behind the bonnet landing panel that was blown on mine - had to open the bonnet and unscrew the plastic cover to get to it - working now.

Thanks again for everyones help.
