thanks for the help guys! I was on the phone ordering some bits and thought I'd ask if they had any, so I have bought 2, along with a few other bits
from ClassicVeeDub, he says they are the correct ones for my bug, so when they arrive I guess I'll find out. If they are wrong, I'll get in touch
with the other suggestions, and post a pics of the setup in my car.
Thanks again
Michael

from what i have read they are the same as the original headlamp bulbs so no relays etc have to be used...
they are NOT high wattage bulbs...
[which are illegal when used on the roads]
and usually melt the plastic plug on the end...
of late model cars..

well classicveedub didn't end up having any, I think I'm going to give the ones in SA a go with the halogen replacements, depending on cost, and if
they actually are just a direct replacement, which they say they are....anyone know the cost of the bulbs from them?
Sulla, how many of the ba20d based NOS bulbs have you got, and how much for 2 if you have them spare?
