The Bosch 1987301026 is a W5W capless Pure Light wedge-base bulb — 12 volts, 5 watts — designed for auxiliary lighting positions across a wide range of Volkswagen and Audi vehicles. Available at Dub Source Limited, Kingston’s dedicated Volkswagen and Audi parts specialist in Jamaica.

WHAT IT IS

The W5W designation refers to a standardised bulb type used across the automotive industry for low-wattage auxiliary positions. This Bosch Pure Light version uses a capless design — instead of a metal screw or bayonet base, the glass tapers down to a flat end with wire contacts that slide directly into the bulb socket. This makes installation straightforward with no tools required.

On Volkswagen and Audi vehicles, the W5W bulb appears in multiple positions depending on the model and year. Common fitment locations include interior courtesy and dome lights, licence plate lights, side marker and parking lights, glovebox and boot lights, and dashboard indicator bulbs. It is one of the most frequently replaced bulbs on these vehicles due to how widely it is used across the cabin and exterior body panels.

WHY IT MATTERS

Bosch is an original equipment supplier to Volkswagen and Audi, meaning the Pure Light series meets the exact original voltage, wattage, and filament specifications for these delicate electrical positions.

Fitting an uncertified, off-brand, or poorly manufactured replacement can cause premature failure or inconsistent brightness. This is particularly problematic in positions that cycle frequently or stay on for long periods, such as puddle lights, licence plate bulbs, and interior map lights. Upgrading to an identical factory-spec Bosch unit ensures clean, stable illumination without drawing incorrect current that could trigger sensitive bulb-out warnings on the dashboard.

COMPATIBILITY

The Bosch W5W 1987301026 fits selected Volkswagen and Audi models. Fitment varies widely by specific vehicle position, model year, and factory trim package.
