Hi all:

Oddly enough, in the 20+ years I've owned my Vanagon I've not had to change light bulbs very often. However, the last time or two I've gone into my FLAPS to get a replacement bulb and quoted the "Trade No." listed in the Bulb Chart of my Vanagon's Owners Manual the guy behind the counter tells me that that number is no longer valid and hands me something else. I'm not so sure he knows what he's talking about and now, after replacing a bulb in my relatively-new-to-me Westfalia, the left blinker goes a lot faster than the right blinker, which tells me I've got mis-matched bulbs.

I've looked around on the web for some sort of cross-reference chart for the "Trade Numbers" listed in my owners manual to current general trade numbers and haven't had any luck. Does anybody have some sort of list of generic "trade numbers" for bulbs that fit Vanagon?

Here's what my manual specifies:

Headlights 6014 Front turn signals 1034 Front and rear side marker lights 1816 Rear turn signal 1073 Stop/tail lights 1034 Back-up lights 1073 License plate light 89 Interior lights 211

Anybody got a more current chart?

TIA.
