I recall that there is a double secret bulb not illustrated on
the ETKA/ microfiche. It is burried at the top of the text 
with the key "  -  " meaning "Don't try to find me on
an illustration cause I'm not there".

There also was a double secret tech bulletin a couple of
years ago about replacing bulbs in switches (historically 
can't be done except  HL Switch & Flasher switch).
Parts people aren't supposed to see tech bulletins, but I
did.

The part number that comes to mind is 8A0-919-062 don't
know the watts.
If that's not correct E-Mail me & I'll look it up for you when I
get to work next week.

The 1.2 bulb is part number N0177512
