Which 12 volt light bulbs are correct?

Post by david58 »

I had a hard time finding the dash light bulb part # for my 74 Standard Bug so here is a list of bulbs that fit. If I made any mistakes please correct them.

Thank you

Has anyone had luck in finding vendors that still have VW in their source books?

The Altrom brand carried by NAPA incorporates the VW part number, have them look up ATM N177222... 79¢ ea. (compare to $4.99/pr from Mid-America Motorworks).
Here're some other manufacturers' numbers:
GE: 2696
HELLA: 78180
JAHN: 1551
LUCAS: 281
PHILIPS: 12829
NARVA: 17051 AND 101006
STANLEY: 1272
TUNGSRAM: 2695
WAGNER: 11009

BMW dealers should have them under 07 11 9 978 279




6V 1.2W are N17 721 1, Osram 3799

The 12V 1.2W wedge-base ("wheat") bulb used in later buses/`Ghias, MK I Rabbits and in lighted knobs are N17 751 2. - 59¢ ea. at NAPA, $2.99/pr at Mid-America. Similar bulbs (in various wattages) are common in modern Fords, etc...
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.
