Let me explain what I'm up to....
So I'm getting around to attaching the taillights to my truck bed. They are not stock style lamps...but rather are cool looking and slightly larger ones from the 40's or 50's.
The lamp housing originally had a non-offset single-contact bulb.
I have bought some pigtails that fit into the housing to allow me to run the style of bulbs with two contacts so I can use turn signals.
Here's where I'm looking for help:
I need to find a SIX-VOLT bulb that has non-offset bayonet pins, also with two contact points.
(All I've found for pictures online is the offset pin style)
Anyone have a source for identifying bulb numbers?

Thanks in advance...
Tom

 

I'm on my phone, so I can't look this up to be sure, but I THINK you need an 1158 bulb. Google that and see if I'm right. I ended up buying an offset bulb and VERY carefully knocking one of the two pins off with a grinder. The other pin is still holding it tight enough after about 3 years. I didn't have the patience to find the correct bulb with the even pins.

 

You are correct, sir: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post11404902

 

I think the OP in the link deserves some rep points.

 

Just did all around,
These are available at my local NAPA store too - bonus.
Thanks everyone!

Two references of transportation bulbs.

 

Holy smokes Jeremy, that second link has everything anyone would need to know about bulbs!

I did get a laugh out of 'average rated bulb life'. I sure didn't see an asterisk next to that column. It should say that when a bulb is inserted into any trailer application, the rated bulb life instantly becomes 19 hours maximum.
