[s-cars] CC Head Lights

[Tom Green]

Doug,

Most of the online sellers sell the bulbs.  They are the same type  
used in the instrument panel.  If you
have done the 2W bulb replacement you probably have the old bulbs that  
probably work here.  ( I wouldn't
use 2W here)  If not, this is a good time to order them with the  
required bulbs for the CC.

The (green base) 2W bulbs are Audi part # 893 919 040 A and the  
(orange base) OEM 1.1 or 1.3W bulbs are
Audi part # 4A0 919 040 C.  Order them by part # from online sources.   
The local dealer wants 3 to 4X as much.
Ed on Quattroworld says NAPA has bulbs also. He used  PN 17035 which  
crosses to a generic # 2721MF.  It
looks like a black base that is a little larger end but the base  
connects just fine.

I haven't looked in a CC head in a while, but these bulbs illuminate  
the switches, etc IIRC.  I don't remember if it
is a baseless bulb for the LCD panel.  But, I would expect that NAPA  
would have them also.

Now that you are educated on bulbs, I'll send a few in the mail if  
your Duluth address is the same.   Then you can
work on a 2W change when you want to.  I have orange base and black  
base bulbs;  sorry, no green base or bulbs
without base.
