I will add:
Yes, they seem to be osram/sylvania "74".

I purchased some at my FLAPS for about $2 each.
They can also be bought for about $0.66 here:

Amazingly, I just paid over $4.50 each for some, by ordering
bulbs for a *73 beetle* from Bus Depot. They don't actually FIT
a 73 beetle... (like the website said they would)  They are quite
clearly the wrong ones, but they do fit the vanagon, and for
only 2-1/2 times what I pay for them locally....

  Anyone know where I can find bulbs for a 73 beetle?
