Can't read any of the numbers on the old bulbs and couldn't find the specifics in the manual ... what bulb is used in this application?

Those bulbs were used from 1928-1934, and are long obsolete. You can order them as B-13007-D from most vendors. C&G (800/266-0470) shows them as $2.00 each for the six volt type. As I recall, these bulbs used to be sold in two versions, a 32 candlepower and 50 CP. I don't know which they stock.

The originals were 32/32 CP (low beam / high) as mentioned you may be able to find 50/32 CP which has a brighter low beam (higher current draw). I am not sure but the replacement part number for the originals may be #1000 ??? You may be able to locate an old light bulb chart on the web to confirm this number.

From 29 to 34 Ford used the same head lamp bulb. Ford called it B-13007-C. It was readily available in the market as #1000. It had dual filaments, each at 32 candle power. See attached image of bulb.

Thank you for your input --- I guess no one has an old bulb that has readable numbers, but your info should get me into the right direction ...
