Faulty Bulb warning light…

On start up the faulty bulb light simple shows up. All the bulbs are working fine?

Is there a way to reset this light?

thanks

Check all your light bulbs, particularly those from the rear clusters. There is probably one about to blow - it will be dark in colour. Once that is replaced, your warning light will not come on.

Don't pay Dealer money for light bulbs.

I had this problem when I bought my car, just could't find any faulty bulbs. Turned out it was one of the rear brake light bulbs. There are 2 per each side but only one lights up under normal braking and both if braking hard.

Ive had a mate use his fault scanner on the car and it is stating there is a fault with the adaptive brake light? Is this a brake light bulb replacement? Links would be great

Yes that will be your brake light. They are called adaptive brake lights as they glow brighter under hard braking.

Bulb should be a standard 380 (P21/5W) bulb
