Topic: 6 volt miniature bulb


Barney    -- 12-10-2021 @ 5:14 PM
  Hello All,
I'm in the process of locating an outlet for a 6 volt miniature light bulb for my '40 Ford. To date, I've been a failure. This bulb illuminates the red 'jewel' that indicates the high beam headlights are selected. It has a very small base of approx 3/8" (I measured .400" at the receptacle.) It has a single contact, and has two pegs directly opposite each other to secure the bulb in the holder. Any ideas on where to obtain this bulb, or a part number, would be appreciated.
Thank you much,
Barney

  Pep Boys was the source that I used locally before they stopped selling parts in my area. Try your local auto store or Amazon.
