[Sentoa] Instrument Bulb

[Jim Waskowich]

Thanks for responding!  I took a closer look at the water level indicator gage and finally noticed that it has a small "VDO" marking on the face that I did not see at first.  So with this clue and a bunch of googling I think found the culprit.  Will post an update when the bulbs arrive...
