I've got one too, but the lamp is crushed...
I should replace it... but there are more important issues to take care of first.

I do have one of those, only thing I'm missing is battery, hard to find from here.

Can anyone remember battery code?

Post by **RandomHero** » 01 May 2005 06:24 pm

The code is 625, the battery is from Varta. Mine is fitted with a green LED, but the batterypower is insufficient. A low current led will probably work, but it's not priority atm.

Thanks, now I just need to go to battery shop

For bright blue led, 3 Volts could be ok, maybe there is 3V batteries that would fit?

I believe it is 1,25v what i have. Didn't look if it was available in higher voltages.

I think I've got at least four or five of those! Nice touch I think, helps a great deal when hunting for the keyhole.

I've got one as well, but it dosn't work. Probably the battery.

I use the other kay, and I carry a Maglite when I go out so it's of no use really

I have one (not work) I have also a spare key very skinny with no fob and not marked as a volvo key which however does grip (maybe too cold to grip in winter ) Am I over-paranoid but I read somewhere thieves were targetting lockers at swimming pools and stealing the owners cars. No excuse for no exercise , though.

my spare had that type, not working, globe was busted and missing battery, but it was a simple circuit and functional too. There'd not be much involved in fitting an LED in place of the globe and there are a few 3v batteries, not as common as 1.5 but it wouldnt take much to fit a 3v at a guess, if someone could let me know what battery it takes i could likely dig up a 3v replacement at work tomorrow (we got LOTS of batteries at work)

That one was to put in your wallet, so when you locked the keys in the car you could still get in

Considering you did not forget to get your wallet out of the car
