RE: COUPE QUATTRO INSTRUMENT PANEL BULBS

["Perry, Christopher" <cperry@cotl.com>]

Just picked up two of these today for my 89 90q.  The invoice says
OSRAM2721MF.  No markings on the bulb other than osram 12/1.2.  The
thing I noticed about the different bulbs is the way they were
"fastened" to the instrument housing.  The ones I got have little prongs
that go up and flare out from the base.  These act as both retainers and
conductors for the bulb.
