Can anyone tell me what bulbs were used in the 1925 Sedan? or at least where to look for these numbers? or which words to key on to search for?

I'm having a difficult time finding exactly what I need. I know I need a 21 candlepower for the headlight, but that doesn't help in my search too much.

I'm looking for model numbers. Tried searching for them on the Filling Station site, but they have so many, I couldn't find any for the cowl lights.

Need:
2 headlights
2 cowl (parking) lights
instrument light
dome light
stop light

Thanks in advance

idea

OK, so I got the information I needed from an email group I'm a member of. Figured I'd post it here in case someone else down the road might need this info.

Looks like this:

Headlights: 1129's or 1133's. I used the 1133's because they have more candlepower.
cowl, instrument, dome and taillight are all #63's

Just be careful if you go to a higher candle power headlight globe,as it may cause burning of the fixed & moving contacts in the light switch(they're pretty thin),and may even burn out the dimming resistor on the back of the headlight switch.

If you really want your head lights to be the brightest they can be and protect your head light switch, wire in a head light relay in the engine compartment. What a relay does is use the head light switch as a low amperage on/off switch for the relay control while the heavy relay contacts supply direct current to the head light from the battery. These are available in either 6 volt or 12 volt.

That's how I've wired up my headlights.Removed the dimming resistor and used a double contact headlight relay.Switching to "DIM" activates the low beam,and switching to "BRT"(bright) activates the high beam,on the twin filament QH globes I've installed into the headlights on my truck.
