LED Bulbs for dash

[rich67vw]

I got two for the speedo illumination, one for the turn signal indicator, dome light, and license plate light.

Like I said, if they suck,  ill toss em.

BTW headlights should be replaced by hella h4s on all VWs -  so much better visibility

I don't know anything about 6v or what their versions of common bulbs like 1156 and 1157 are, but I just googled
6v LED automotive bulb
And found a bunch of results for ba9 and ba7. Not sure if that's helpful or not.

Staying 6v is like staying Quill & Ink.

 Any word on the dash bulbs from the future?   

Can't 6v and 12v get along the voltage might be different, but after you shift through all the  the switches are the same

Now if it was a 6 volt reverse polarity

Just got them yesterday and put them in the pile of other stuff I ordered and am too lazy to install

My dad's '40 Packard is 6v positive ground.
Hell of a lot more wiring and devices than my Beetle and it runs just fine.

Just sayin...

[Celly]

Yeah, I was just joking about the , positive vs negative ground systems really aren't that much different.  If the wiring is in good shape, a reverse polarity electrical system should work fine.  The main reason people decide to switch to negative ground from positive ground is Radio/Accessory upgrades.  I did this once for a customers jaguar because he was sick of the stock radio and wanted to play CD's.

I'm sure your dad's Packard runs fine, the Packard was and is the definition of an automotive engineering marvel.  The Packard was the first car (1940?) to have power (hydro/electric) windows... the Beetle got p/w in 1998.
