    Dome Light WTF????

    OK, so I bought my VX about 2 months ago. The dome light was dead when I bought it, so I replaced the bulb. Everything was fine until today. The dome light is dead again.

    What is the deal here? A short somewhere? Anyone else have/solve this problem?

    Thanks - Bart

    I was having the same problem with mine when I first got it. Turned out that all I has to do was pinch the 2 tabs together alittle and make sure the bulb was in secure and straight

    So I opened up the dome and wiggled the bulb. No worky. I replaced the bulb again and now it works again. But seriously, even a crappy cheap bulb should last long than 2 months. Something must be shorting it out...

    Not if it was manufactured in Dumb F@#$ where ever. Espically if it's man made, excuse me, human made.

    True, I mean, I suppose it just could be a crappy bulb. I'll know soon enough cause the bulb I just put in was identical. The bulbs came in a two pack, so I had an extra one on hand. We'll see if it burns out in the next 5 weeks.
