[s-cars] New to 'S' cars

On the topic of the 2W bulbs, the write-up can be found here:
http://12v.org/faq/c4/instrument_cluster_bulb_replacement.htm
and this might be of use too.

The cheapest source I've seen is Allied Electronics. You can't search by Audi p/n, but the Osram/Sylvania part is 39320 or 2352MFX6.

Bob...

Blau used to carry a kit, but don't for our cars anymore.  Thank god I keep everything.  I found the old package from my UrS4 days and it had some part numbers.  A little Google work, and here you go:

Good point, Chris.  If the lights are unknowingly "dimmed" then
nothing will help.  But I disagree with your view of the stock
lighting.  Those steenking little 1.2 watt bulbs just don't cut
it.  Replacing them with 2 watt bulbs makes a BIG difference.  Three
watt bulbs would probably be better if they even exist.

BTW, does anyone have a suggestion where the 2 watt bulbs can be
located.  Scott Mockry has them listed on his on-line catalog but
they are noted as not available.
