=>Oh yeah, there's 3 lights back there, and the 16V (and all US Sciroccos I
=>believe) use the black tipped bulb (1.2 Watt).

=> how many

=>least two, but is there a third?  I need to replace mine as part of my
=>cluster is dim and I can't see the clock at all at night (not like it
=>matters... one on stereo, one on wrist, one on cell phone... but it'd be
=>nice to have it look good :).  Also, do the 16v's use white
=>tipped lights or
=>black or do I need to pull them out and check for myself?
