VDO Type B - White Metal Base Bulb - 12V - 4 Pack

The VDO Type B White Metal Base Bulb 12V 4-Pack delivers reliable illumination for marine dashboard gauges and warning indicator clusters. These compact 2-watt replacement bulbs are engineered to meet OEM specifications for VDO instrument panels found across a wide range of fishing vessels and recreational boats. Built with a metal base design for secure seating and consistent electrical contact, this 4-pack ensures you have spares on hand before a bulb fails during a day on the water.

Each bulb operates at 12 volts DC and draws only 2 watts, making it compatible with standard marine electrical systems found in most recreational fishing boats and smaller offshore vessels. The 11/32-inch (9mm) diameter and white/clear color render crisp, readable instrument indications during daylight navigation and night fishing operations. The metal base ensures positive contact and reduces the risk of corrosion-induced bulb failure—critical in salt-air marine environments where corroded sockets and loose connections are common failure points. Replacement is straightforward: simply twist out the old bulb and install the new one into your VDO gauge cluster.

Weekend anglers and serious offshore operators rely on accurate gauge reads for fuel consumption, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and alternator output. A burned-out warning light or dim gauge reading can mask mechanical issues or leave you guessing about engine condition miles from shore. Stocking this 4-pack of VDO bulbs as part of your onboard maintenance kit eliminates the risk of being caught with a failed instrument light when you need situational awareness most. VDO's original equipment positioning ensures fitment compatibility and consistent light output across your instrument panel.
