Does anyone know where to get the bulb for the shift indicator on the floor console in a 01 EV? Thanks!

Your favorite dealer parts dept.

Item #8 in this picture:

https://www.jimellisvwparts.com/showAssembly.aspx?...evel=18925

For a 2001, you want the "Clear Glass Cassette Holder"
The bulb and holder are all one unit.

You will have to reuse the red bulb "condom" from your existing bulb.

You will have to remove parts 46-51 to gain access to the bulb holder.
Tools required are an allen wrench for the shift handle and a phillips screwdriver for the shifter base #46.

Good luck!!!

Thanks for the info!

I just figured there was no light as I've never seen one that was lit. I need to replace the sliding dust cover too

If you cannot find the OEM Dust Cover, search for Carl Hansen on this Eurovan Campers Facebook Page:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/181266200122/

He's making replacements for $10.

Good luck!!!
