  • light bulb for instrument cluster

    hi all

    i've removed my instrument cluster because one the light over the speedo has been out since i've owned the car.

    just looked up the osram catalogue


    the bulb is a tiny osram 12V 1.2W (osram product number) 2351MFX6 1,2W 12V LF BLK1

    i tried a few auto stores and jaycar electronics - none had them in stock

    anyone have any idea where to get this little bulb??

    cheers!

      Yeah either get one from me, which will be out of an old speedo cluster, or buy a genuine one from VW. How much could it cost?

                      mmm i have been procrastinating for a year to change it but my sister criticised it the other day when she was driving my car so now my ego has been bruised...

                      its not a hard operation, i can take a dig. photo of the service manual instructions if you want.

                              Success In Mission To Find Pesky Instrument Bulbs

                              here's the deal:

                              auto one didn't have any of these bulbs

                              b@rloworld wanted $8 each which they'd have to order in from VW

                              vw v!llage didn't have any of the 2W light bulbs, they charged me $5 for a 1.2W bulb (my gym is right near there so thought i'd pop in)

                              repco has a NARVA brand LED (product number 47890) which can be used instead of the original OSRAM bulb.


                              they are $2.75 each from repco

                              Camperdown Repco is ordering me in 2.

                              hope this helps
