Product Description
This Arrowhead 1.2W 12V dashboard bulb is designed for use in the interior and exterior body lighting systems of select Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. It features a miniature glass bulb with a clear dome and a black plastic twist-lock base, making it suitable for instrument panel and dashboard illumination. Each pack contains 10 bulbs, providing a convenient replacement solution for multiple lighting points in your vehicle.
Compatible with a range of Audi and Volkswagen models, this bulb is ideal for restoring or maintaining the visibility of your dashboard and instrument cluster. It is commonly used in vehicles such as the VW Golf, Jetta, Passat, Kombi, and Audi 500 from 1972 onwards.
