[s-cars] Tips on Odometer Bulb Replacement

[Tom Green]

Straightforward replacement, Randy.  It's just one of the 4A0 919 040  
C orange base 1.3W ? standard dash bulbs.  It may be the green base
893 919 040 A  2W bulb done in the "upgrade" but I don't think that  
extra brightness is needed for the odometer lighting, so I skip that  
one when
putting in the 2W bulbs.  They are about 75 cents each at  
<www.fap99.com>.  Most of the usual places have them.

The little socket-end screwdrivers that are so handy for hose clamp  
screws are great for these bulbs too.
