I think I must have the light but the lamp in it is not working Maybe this is the fault with those others that do not have a light

 

They obviously removed that light on the later gay models, too much for you to drive and look at the dash

 

Well I'm fecked now then as I can't stop looking at it

 

I think you should have a lamp there. The Qube instructions don't tell you to put a lamp in there, because there wasn't one there in the first place...possibly not required for the USDM.

I can't remember if there was a lamp in there when I took it apart...I've done too much since then

However...remind me to look at my old set of clocks (JDM) to see if there is a lamp in that position.

 

I just popped out and took this pic, hope it helps, 2003 UK model with ignition and lights on.

 

I've just been out, and my '03 is the same as Wobbly's Squeak.
(It's cold, runnin out there in shorts! )
HTH!

 

See, if you'd put a bulb in there it would have been fine

 

Just checked my JDM clocks and there isn't a lamp/lamp holder in that position. I have duly removed a few lamps from them (the dash is kaput anyway) for you.

 

Just checked and my UKDM '99 has the light too

 

I have that on mine too which is a 52 plate (2003) model
