It is is the owners manual On page 37 of my 1946 manual so a 1947 should be on the same page. parking lamp #63 bulb if no turn signals Parking lamp and tail light 1154 licenseight #63 Ignition lock light and high beam light #51 Instrument lights #55 dome light #82 Rather than install new bulbs i WOULD JUST KEEP SPARES IN THE GLOVE BOX SO YOU HAVE A SUPPLY HANDY. The 1154 is themost frequently needed bulb. Last edited by Chev Nut; 05/27/20 10:32 PM. Gene Schneider

It's 4cp as opposed to the 2cp of the #55. The bulb is a tad longer but should fit your dash OK. I've got them in my '38 and '53.
