To All,

To everyone that responded to my original post, thank
you very much.  If your Vanagon has automatic
transmission, it has two little lights inside the gear
selector housing.  These lights are supposed to
backlight the gear positions.  Mine had burned out.  I
secured from my local VW dealer two replacement bulbs,
each about the size of a grain of rice.  But these
bulbs did not work in the original bulb holders.  My
question in my original post was, �What will fix this
problem.�

The answer:  buy new bulb holders to go with the
replacement bulbs.  The new bulb holders are designed
to work with replacement bulbs and do not require
soldering to make electrical contact with the bulb.
The VW part number for the new bulb holder is
437-919-039.  Quantity two are required.  My dealer
charged me less than $4.00 for the pair.

Thanks again to everyone that responded.  Long live
the list.
