They would be a higher candle power than any other bulb used on the 51. ( 6 volt ) My accessory 51 book tells how to mount them but no bulb number. Looks like 11?3 ,not sure. Thanks. easymoney

I need two for my 51 Bel Air and a friend needs one for his 49 Dodge break light. Is 1129 a signal filament and 1 3/8 dia. glass ? Thanks. easymoney
