Hey, guys,
Thanks SOOOO much for all of your information.  I always appreciate tips
and information.  I almost hesitated posting my question, because my
knowledge of VW mechanics is virtually nil, although I do have a Bentley.
I actually thought that my question was too "basic" to even ask, but
knowing I've always gotten great feedback from this group no matter what
I've asked, I went ahead and posted it anyway!

For the past few weeks, it's been raining nearly every day in "Lost
Angeles," so when the rain stops, I'll print your posts, open my
Bentley, and replace the bulb.  I was just dreading having to locate a
whole new fixture somewhere, and am very glad that it's not necessary.

This group rocks!
