[s-cars] bulb upgrade

[Tom Green]

FAP99 is probably as good as any for the instrument bulbs.  I believe  
the cc display uses 2 each 2w and 1.2w bulbs.
For the rest, you are on your own.  Blaufergnugen has the only "kit"  
of bulbs I know of, and they are just instrument
bulbs.  The photo doesn't compute to what I used and you pay a  
premium for the "kit".  You should expect such a
premium for such a service as assembling a package of bulbs for all  
your interior needs.  Much like using the
concierge at the Bellagio to find little things for you.

For other bulbs, FAP99 has several bulbs for sale at good prices but  
only come as a pack of 10, so if you have
4 or 5 alike, it's a good deal, otherwise, the dealer parts dept  
(choke...) may be your source.

I have no advice for making your s-car look like a volvo.  Perhaps an  
Edsel grill would help.  :-)  The LED's tend to
be very directional, so make sure the clusters spread the light to  
the side or the turn signal may be too dim for
traffic in other lanes.  More replacement LED's are available each  
week.  It is just a matter of finding a well-
engineered replacement with the old style base.

Look for your parts needs in the audifans marketplace and post a  
wanted ad there if needed.  The email
will be gathering electronic dust in the archives and forgotten by  
tomorrow.

The owners manual has the synchronization procedure for IR remotes.   
It can also be found in these helpful
places along with more information than you should ever need:
