MK5 instrument bulb. Airbag and abs different?
by larstore » Sat Jun 24, 2017 4:44 pm
So i went to change instrument bulbs on my 1999, and it looks like they are all the same except the airbag and abs warning lights. Anyone know what these are called so i can order a few?

They are LEDs incorporated in the electronics, not interchangeable with bulbs, plus different mounting. Teeshirt.

No. A bulb is a glass container with a filament inside a vacuum, which glows when electricity is connected.
A Light Emitting Diode is a solid state item. Google it.
The flange fitting is a different shape also.

Well, they can be anything from what i care 
They are removable and make light... someone removed mine to hide the fact that the airbag was malfunctioning. I have fixed it, but cannot find anywhere to buy them.
I have found a parts diagram, but it only lists the other. bulbs. As mentioned, the ABS and AIRBAG uses a different kind, smaller, and the flanges is not 180 degrees apart...

To Clarify:
The pics show the difference in the bulb and LED. I have 5 spare speedos, all those with ABS lights are LED.
