I am forever finding issues now with the e30!!!

Anyway todays question is.....i removed the headlight switch to replace the bulb but have found three bulbs (1.2w) behind the switch not doing anything (one is for the headlight switch).

Where do they go? One is seperate but one is paired with the headlight switch bulb?

Car is a 325i SE 91'

Two bulbs for the headlamp levelling knob are frequently floating around loose in there.
Another possibility is an ABS warning light removed from the cluster, in the hoipe a MOT tester won't notice.

Thanks Brian will have a look today to see if there is an opening in the cluster as the whole dash is pretty much removed :roll:
