[928uk] Swich Illumination Bulb

[Adrian Langford]

Hi Douglas

There’s nothing holding it in but habit!

At worst by all means destroy the bulb (1.2W type costing pence) then dig out the base with something sharp you can slide under it or grab the filament support and tug hard with pliers. There’s no way you’ll need a new foglight switch.
