looking for the little led bulbs in the dash (one for the glow plug and main beam both amber and one green for the indicator...
ive been searching everywhere and still cant find any.......

1982 hightop 1.6cs diesel total re-built engine

Maplins do all sorts. Tried there? VW Commercial have a few too.

yeah tried maplins..they dont do them...ive tried vw main dealer and no luck with them
but i did manage to get hold of some from t25 direct.com

Cant see anything on there, I need a full beam bulb and have struggled to find one.

Well the full beam bulb is just a 12v bulb popped into a dark blue plastic shell. Most seem to swap it for an LED and resistor now as it lasts longer.

brickwerks do the clear bulb with a blue cap for about £6
i got whole set from t25 direct.just waiting for delivery

Ahh found them on brickworks, the £10 postage encouraged me to order a few things

fair play mattbw glad your all sorted...if you need any more you need to ring t25 direct.com and ask for johnnie.he very helpful and a good guy and cheap..

Hi
I'm trying to find these on t25direct, any chance you'd have a link to them.
Thanks

if you ring them and ask for Johnnie

Howdy,
Does the main beam indicator bulb blow regularly?
My mainbeam works fine, just no dash warning light!
Cheers

Well its a tungsten bulb, not an LED so its lifespan is not as great. I can't see the point in fitting the same (at greater cost) when LEDs outlast tungsten by many, many years and are so cheap now. VW didn't fit a blue LED because blue ones didn't exist then, simple as that. Chances are, yes its blown.

Cheers
Will investigate led option i think
