Instrument Cluster Illumination Bulbs
Speedo bulb went out.
The Bentley manual says to use the bulb with the red cap. What wattage is that?
I wish I could just install LED illumination in the whole damn thing. I bet when I swap this one out, another one will go. =\
No xenon. Delta deck. Bulbs in cluster. No DBW. I love pre-facelift B5s.

the only problem would be more of a power draw thru your wires.
1.2W * 10 bulbs = 12watts in total
2.0W * 10 bulbs = 20watts in total
it's only a difference of ~8 because iirc there was less then 10 bulbs. but it was close to that.
depending on what else you run you have the possibility of blowing a fuse faster.

I could have sworn I saw some direct fit LEDs...
Being sold by one of AW's sponsor sites (or maybe another forum's sponsor site.) I remember it being really ghetto-designed (plain white background and tables.) The had LEDs in the standard plug in different colors (you'd obviously want white/amber.) I didn't buy because I remember the prices were a little ridiculous (like 5 bucks a bulb or something.) Anyone remember the vendor?
