@flankerlaur : Webasto is an manufacturer from independent vehicle heater. If you got an orginal vehicle heater, so is your preselection timeboard below your ashtray, but my one installed at 1994 with an remote control. I have a system of wires (GPS,Amplifier aso.) near my ashtray so i install my timeboard here.For more information loook @ webasto.de

@Exedus thanks. another question near the gearlever i saw at the second generation a select button what is that. i got an 500se, i don't got these selector.

@flankerlaur : I have only one button near the gear shifter, it`s for Economy E (early switch to a higher gear) and Sportdrive S (switch your gear later, but you drive faster).Normaly is a 4 gear automatic transmission, but some one models was ordered with 5 gear automatic but in twice options you have an select button, otherwise you have an compatible transmission but not orginal.

What size and wattage is the bulb?

@lmwandrew : Orginal is an 0,4W Bulb but till 1993 there wasn`t produced, actually you can only use T5 1,2W 12V Bulbs. LED lights ar not so good for your gear shift.
