True, I hadn't thought of that. I may do that soon. Thanks.

Did anyone change the bulbs for their center console in a B13? I need to know what size and how many bulbs are there. I can't find it in this or the other cluster threads. Thanks.

Unfortunately the pics are down, but maybe you can contact the OP or glean enough info from the text?

I'll update. I just put some of these same bulbs, in cool white, into my VDO gauges:

Many thanks for the write-up.

While I didn't do the light swap, I remembered from reading this that the tunnel for the speedo cable wasn't necessary so I cut it out while I was installing a new cable!
