View Full Version : 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
http://catalog.myosram.com/zb2b/b2b/init.do?darklogin=true&language=EN
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?

The thing is no bigger than a 10c coin.

I need one aswell but cant be bothered taking it apart to get it out.
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.

Yeah that would be great if its in the log books then I got it the one that you get with the car that is.
here's the service manual instructions for getting the instrument cluster out...
oops forgot this last one...
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 :)

they were only a few dollars for a two pack of cheapies that are still going strong today.
not sure if they still stock them though
