I received:
P/N 893 919 040 A 	  small green base, 2W, not what I need
P/N 893 919 040 C  	  small black base, 1.2W, *red bulb
cover*,(retail
$7.50!!!) again, not what I need, but where does this bulb go go?

The trip computer on my wife's 88 90q uses both a red and a yellow bulb

The 20V site lists:
P/N 893 919 040	 Black base bulb, 1.2 W   --  Alternative source: OSRAM
P/N
2721MF

Is this definitely the bulb I need?  What about the orange base bulb
that
I've heard of, but never seen?

Should work; looks like a familiar number.  The orange base and brown
base bulbs are just slightly different wattages.  Availablility seems to
depend on what's in stock.
