Instrument lights (Ones above spedo etc)

Post by el_kel1 »

Hi I am looking to do a better job of the lights than my vans last owner (or many owners ago) and try to get the origional lights working, they have ford lights attached via tape?

What size will i need to look for? looking for some LED ones on ebay which are compatible compatible but there is no idication to what size will fit?#

Cheers

They are an unusual fitting. I tried to get them from my local motor factors but they didn't have the right fitting. Ended up getting them from VW who still stock them (or did last year)

Good luck! :ok

I recently upgraded my instruments lights with LED's from ebay the fitting is a B8.3D

The fitting I requested was B8.3D You need to add this when paying for them and they fit perfectly, once you get them the right way round.......I just had to twist them 360 degrees until they came on. :ok
