At least that's some good news with the oil leak!!

No idea??

The defrost switch should be an easy swap out.  Just pull the cover off the
switch and you should be able to pull the bulb out.  Then go find a "close"
match at your local autoparts store!!  I use a Wagner brand bulb but it
requires cutting the glass base slightly to get it to fit....works though!!


You have to take the seat heater switch apart but after you've done it once
it's pretty easy!!

I just replaced ALL of these lights on my 80q (including window swtiches and
mirror control).  Looks much better all lit up!!

I pulled the outside temp display apart last weekend and it looks like it
will take the same bulb as those for the seat heater switches!!  I would
have already tried to replace it but both local Radio Shacks were out of
microbulbs...damn college students :-)  As soon as the next shipment of
microbulbs comes in I'm going to switch that bulb!!  If time permits I'll do
a write up and post to the qlist!!

HTH!!
