> It isn't actually an LED. They didn't make blue LEDs in those days. > I'll have to admit I would'nt know the difference between incandescent and LED. However everyone (including my Bentley - copyright 1991) refers to these indicater bulbs as LED's. After reading the responses that corrected my error I went back to the Bentley to have a look again. In the picture displayed they show what I assume is a real LED (page 90.19) and a point is made of the polarity of the bulb. I did not notice this on the bulb that I used in my own repair. The bulb I used only had two thin wires that were exactly alike. It would appear that what I installed was in fact an incandescent. John McLean 87 Vanagon GL |
