Thanks for the responses. I might just get the regular bulb. There is a local vw dealer that I should just call and see if its the same price as Busdepot.

Question, when installing it how do I know which way to install it? It has a positive and negative correct? so how do I know what is what?

Thanks,
R

But I second the suggestion for just waiting for the incandescent bulb from Bus Depot (or get it from the VW dealer). If you've waited a year, you can wait another few weeks, and it will last as long as the original.
