WTB: VDO Gauge light sockets
I am in need of a couple of the small VDO gauge light sockets and some light bulbs for them. Thanks

That looks like the holder & bulb for the console heater light. Is that what you actually need? I don't recall any holders like that in 914 gauges (but then again, I'm old and forgetful).

Those are for the newer 2 1/16" vdo gauges.

They are the lights used on the small VDO center console gauges.

I bought a voltage gauge to mount under The White Rat's dash and the light socket has a broken connector that too small for my fat, old fingers to repair.

Now that I see what you need I am not sure if I have any.
There are two types like that. One has a replacable bulb. The other bulb is soldiered into the socket. I used to buy the sockets for $5 new from a VDO distributor. The bulbs were 4 for $5.
I know I have one new socket in the package but not sure about the bulbs.

The ones I need, VDO P/N 600-840, are the ones with the replaceable bulb - thanks
