[urq] Maintaining an old Urq

[Todd Phenneger]

I'm CCing the 20v list because I thought they might find this good info too.

Did some more looking around.
For 91' CQ it looks like the #24 is a drop in for the 1.2w dash bulbs.

I may pick some of those up in Red to see what they look like.  
As for the C4-A6.  I dont see anything but OTOH that dash is pretty good from the factory.  I guess I can keep it the same.

What did you use for the urq Dash lights?  You'd need something with a 360degree pattern I believe to be captured by the (Distribution tubes??) in the dash.

Thanks
