VX Berlina 2001
Quick question regarding the polarity for the LCD screen green bulbs on the speedometer for a VX Berlina 2001.

Does anyone know the orientation of the bulbs for positive and negative? (have attached a photo)

The bulbs have tiny markings, one which has a H and the other with the number 2

Am concerned inserting and testing the bulbs the wrong way will blow the new bulbs & don't want to have to buy more from the stealership (tried the LEDs and had no luck kept blowing/ flickering)

Any pointers would be appreciated,
Cheers

That picture is of a standard globe.
Doesn't matter about the polarity.
Those LCD screen globes are not cheap either.

If those leds where the 3 volt led globes, that is why they are blowing. You need a resistor for the 3 volt led globes on the 12 volt system.

If they keep blowing, you have problems.
