The bulb above the drivers door and the three bulb unit above the stove is the same, VW N0177232, dimensions are 10mm (3/8") (at the connecting ends) x 39mm (1 1/2") in length. Can't help ya on the map light though, must be an accessory thing not shown by VW. The N0177232 bulb was VERY common for the interior light on Bugs, Buses 68-79, Vanagons, Type 3s, most water cooled VWs. I don't have my Bosch/OSRAM chart at my fingertips, but I'm sure it was a #6411. Other common lengths were 31mm and 41mm -- Jim Thompson 84 GL 1.9 "Gloria" 84 Westfalia 2.1 "Ole Putt" 73 K Ghia Coupe "Denise" 72 411 Station Wagon "Pug" oldvolkshome@gmail.com http://www.oldvolkshome.com *********************************** On 7/24/07, Michael Hart <mjhart853@yahoo.com> wrote: > > In my quest to improve interior lighting in my Westy, I have been looking > at the LED 'festoon' bulb replacements recently arriving on eBay etc. > One example case: > > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-Bulb-Festoon-WHITE-LED-39mm-License-Trunk-LIGHT-6411_W0QQitemZ190133009655QQihZ009QQcategoryZ33713QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem > > As I am hcurrently heading for Seoul, I'm going to see if I can find a > lower cost source > (at the flea markets - a great place to sightsee btw), as I have for other > LED lamps on previous trips (e.g. super bright 'miner' headlamps and bike > lights for < $5) > > So, to my Question - can anyone tell me the lengths of the various > 'festoon' > bulbs in the Westy; > - Above stove triple bulb lamp > - interior light (driver's side headliner) > - map light > (I recall they are all different, but since my Westy in in CA and I'm > currently in Taiwan, > I can't get to them to measure them) > > I'll report back if I can find any and once I've tried them out (to see if > they are any brighter > than the filament bulbs; they certainly will use less power). > > Thanks, > Mike > '87 Westy |
