Default Re: Dash instrument lights dead

NO, and yes. If all the little elements are working, there should be no indicator IF the bulb is classed as "CAN bus".
However, if a couple of the little elements go out, you will get the light out indicator, so this makes it a bit problematic
in finding the offending bulb, since visually you can still see light coming from the bulb.
I had this happen on my front right marker lamp, looked OK from the outside, but when I pulled the bulb I could see 2 elements were not working.
I put in a good spare CANBUS LED bulb, no more light out indicator.
