I have done a search on this site, a general Google search, read over my 1941 manual. I cannot find anything. I have removed three 6 volt bulbs from the sockets. Two by the oil, temp, fuel, battery, and one by speedometer.

They fit the sockets and are almost twice a bright as the OEM #55. VCCA Member 43216 Save a life, adopt a senior shelter pet. 1938 HB Business Coupe 1953 210 Sedan
