lighting

I have had a problem with the interior light on my 159 for a while. First started one evening driving home, interior light just wouldn't turn off. Is intermittent, so sometimes fine, but usually turns on halfway into a journey. Also turns on in the middle of the night while car is in garage...

Does anyone have an idea on which fuse numbers of the G, you should connect this Led mood lighting, so that the lighting works from your door opening and also while driving? https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=lIeuXvWYbmE

I've got an early RH drive 147 and neither the glovebox light, mirror vanity light or centre interior light work. These lights are all on the same circuit and seem to be driven from the body computer. There's no fuse. Suspecting a faulty driver chip I started tracing and the lights suddenly...

Hi there as the title suggests my interior light fuse has blown and when I try to replace it the new one blows before I can even get it fully in. I have not changed anything on the car recently, where should I begin? its a 2013 model if that makes any odds. Also if it helps I tried a new fuse...

Hi I read on the configurator when specing up my car that ambient lighting was standard, so didn't look further. It states:'Ambient LED lighting - front & rear'. Picked my car up June 30th and because of work commitments not much time as I would like to drive, especially in the dark. In the...

Hello. I'm the owner of an Alfa romeo 166 2.4 JTD, manufactured in 2003. I've got a problem relating to the car's parking lights. There are no issues when it comes to switching between low and high beam lights, but when it comes to parking and fog lights, they don't seems to receive any...

Just this evening, the bottom half of my Rev Counter "back-lighting" decided to call it quits :-( How can I change the back lighting?

Hello guys, I have a weird problem with my 2006. 1.9JTDm Alfa 147. I have already searched the forum and couldn't find something similar, because it either works or not. When I open the door, front interior light fades in - becomes brighter and brighter until it reaches the max intensity, then...

Hi - I had hoped to get my rear bumper skin off to take to the paint shop. To do this I needed to get the rear light cluster out. I studied the factory manual, looked on the internet and went for it. Unscrew nylon nuts and remove boot trim panel, remove four two bulb light units, remove four...

Hi All, 2 part question here. First of all, is it just me or is the interior lighting on the GT a bit of a joke? In my old 147 I could press the unlock button and the interior light would come on for 30 seconds allowing me to find my way around the car in the dark but my GT doesn't do this...

Has anyone changed a back-light for either the speedo or tacho? The tacho back-light on my Brera seems to have failed.

Hi all! Right I'd like to tackle annisduevthat has been happening with my car for the last say 9 years!! Every time I turn the ignition on a warning light comes on- Rear side light not working. It's the left/ nearside/ passenger/ port side. Previous owner ran a wire from righthandside to left...

The light that illuminates the petrol gauge in the instrument cluster keeps switching on & off whether by over bumps or just switching the lights on & off. Anybody had a similar problem ? Did you get it sorted ? Can you get to the back of the instrument cluster easily or not ? if so anybody done...

Hello all, Ive returned to the wonderful world of AR after a few years. My last 147 died on a motorway outside Paris, and somehow I've decided to put myself through this again lol. Anyway, currently the proud owner of 2010 1.4TB Mito, loving it so far. Few niggles like a squeaky window which...

Hi there! I'd like to share some toughts about LED-ding a GTV. Firstly I started my Led project on my main instrument cluster. I installed T10 square LED-s to the original lightbulb position. However I found out that it doesnt lit the pointer arms. This led to me to install 2 led to 1 light...

Hi, I have had my Giulietta now 3 weeks and still find the dashboard very dimly lit, At night it is fine, but the dials are very gloomy and badly lit when in low light/dusk I don't find it very well lit or clear. By comparison I was in my friends Scirocco last week and in all lighting...

Is it possible to adjust how bright the speedo/instrument panel is? I can't seem to find an obvious way of adjusting this. Can you alter how long the courtesy lights stay on for when you turn off the ignition? For me personally I feel that they turn off far too quickly. Any recommendations for...
