thats a brill idea but by the looks of it there aint much space. And i dont know the + or - side.

Being an LED you could just rotate it until it lit up correctly?

I've recently bought 3mm for my Golf switches, makes a big difference and seem to be just as bright? Gives you a little more room? By 12v LEDS and then no need to wedge in a resistor too?

Good luck! I spent a good while looking for you on the web and only found people with the same question you have?!

I've pulled apart a fair few mk3 Golf clocks and have never seen that particular type of bulb.

BTT...  They are not for the clocks they are for the climate control panel. Try to keep up...
