OK, (big grin) I used...... Those little colored plastic subject tabs for file folders and notebooks! A package of 24 in 6 colors is only $1.99 or so from your local supply store. These are thick and sturdy, and my friend has used them and they seem to have lasted for some time. IMPORTANT! Be very careful what kind of glue you use to hold these down. Many glues will actually melt the plastic, thus slightly discoloring it, so don't really glob it on, and you actually might want to test it a bit first to see how strong the glue is. (I used superglue-overkill I think) ' As to the little bulbs, make sure you get either 12v or 6v, whichever you need, from your local VW store. They were fairly cheap. Anyway, good luck to you all...
