Hey guys, I've been looking on the usual spots to find a bulb holder for the bigger bulbs in the Tach (same as the speedometer) I have one holder, and one open hole with nothing in it.

I'd really like to get this gauge all perfect, and all I need is a bulb holder, where the heck do I find one? Do I have to buy a whole new tach? The one i have looks pretty faded, but I'd rather keep it.

Where do i go?

If you don't find one on the board, I bought a dash light assembly at a VW aftermarket parts place. The bubld holder fit perfectly. It was only one prong, so the tac case has to be the ground. It's a good fix until you find the exact part you are looking for.

It's a single pole. I have some extras, but I'm on vacation, and won't be home for 2 weeks. I'll check back with you when I get home (about 8/19), and if you still need one, I'll get your address and put one in the mail for you.

It's the one pole variety. I'll try a VW place to see if they have a bulb holder. I'd appreciate it if you did that nola, I'll try to find it myself in that time.

That's mighty cool of you to offer, I may take you up on it if I can't find one.

thanks guys
