Another listee wrote it was a incand. bulb. VW must have switched at some point. My 1980 was a red LED. I switched it to a green LED so I wouldn't panic when I saw a red LED after I forgot my high beams were on. I happend to get the LED out of a Rabbit instrument cluster that I took the tachometer out of and replaced my Vanagon clock with it. The LED leads just slip into holes on the foil. So all you need is a standard LED with two wire leads coming off it. LED's conduct only one way so if it doesn't light, remove and install the leads the other way around. eric h. 80 westy |
