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.
