Glad you found a bulb but you better keep an eye on that. #90 (C6SZ13466A) is 6 candlepower. Back in the 70's and 80's Ford Loved to use the #194 peanut bulb in a gazillian side marker lamps. The #194 bulb is "2" candlepower. So the #90 bulb is 3 times brighter....and hotter.

The 194 bulb is a push connector won't fit.
The 90 is a small bulb compared to the other one I found that was the same size as the 1158 and 1157...

That just means you have to drive faster to get enough air around the marker to cool it off-lol

It might run hotter but that amber lens may be glass as some where glass back then.
If not glass it is made of a different type of plastic that can stand up to the heat.

I know this thread is six years old, but…

I just bought two from LMC, and they ARE NOT a correct replacement. The ones that LMC sent have a different bulb style, only have a single wire, and the fixed mounting is different. Factory had “welded” bolts that used a nut on the inside of the fender. LMC just has holes you have to supply a nut and bolt.

The part that LMC sends is actually Trucklite 26311Y.

As my truck did not come with this option, I had to fit the LMC side markers. I installed stainless steel nutcerts in the fender, and tack welded nut to fender, to ensure a good ground. I also modified the light and added a ground wire, routed back to head light ground i added to radsupport. Same nutcert method used.
I believe all the bad grounds, add to corrosion issues.

I'm still around!



Picture of the trip 6 years ago. Start from, Middleton Idaho to Woodburn Oregon, 635 miles .
The F350 Caveman will run at 70 mph (faster down hill). Copilot caught me running at 75 miles an hour a couple of times and reminded me, I said that I wanted to keep it under 70 mile an hour...
It has a 2 barrel Holey 500 CFM on a 390 FE with a C6. Filled up with Gas in Middleton and It made it almost to Woodburn, filled back up in Portland. Trip was almost 8 hours. It does have a 28 gallon tank under the bed and 2 50 gallon tanks at the back end...
