amber light bulbs
Looking for amber single filament bulbs with parallel pins and 2 lugs on the bottom of the holder. Can't find any locally or, so far, on the net. Anyone know a supplier?

Re: amber light bulbs
When you say 'two lugs on the bottom', do you mean double contact?
Also, what size bulb, as there are a few different sizes?
Maybe have a look here:

Re: amber light bulbs
Hopefully I'm reading this correctly. ?
On my 85 Ram , I had the same problem. Ended up getting bulbs with staggered pins , and filing the one off not needed.
By no means the correct approach,
but I had no problems at all , and an easy fix on a daily !

Re: amber light bulbs
What's it for? (make / model / application) - might help to narrow it down!

Re: amber light bulbs
OK, before conversion the back-up light bulb would have been a 1073B which is single contact (and clear obviously), so it must have been modified to a double-contact when the indicators were installed there. As you have found, it's not easy to find the combination of single-filament, double contact, parallel bayonet pins and amber!
Edit: Could get these and paint them amber?:

Re: amber light bulbs
Why do you want the reversing light amber, normally they are white or am I miss reading your question ?
Edit, had a re read Your after Indicator bulbs

Re: amber light bulbs
This is it with double contacts. Looks like it will be a paint job. Used to have no problems getting these locally but times change.

Re: amber light bulbs
That one has a single contact... I presume you mean that it's the kind of bulb you want, but it should have double contacts instead?
Re: amber light bulbs
Thanks, that's the rear indicator. I was sure it was double contact. Never do a job when drink has been taken. In which case i am fine
Re: amber light bulbs
I painted the indicator bulbs on my old Charger years ago and the paint lasted surprisingly well. It was a temporary fix that became permanent.
Have you looked for orange led bulbs?

Re: amber light bulbs
Got these for the front. Double filament and dual contact offset pins. The single contacts are fine for the rears. Glass is a bit smaller but holder looks the same. Will try them today. Not as orange as wha is t there but should be ok. Took a while to be delivered.Cheers guys as always.
