Post a pic of the bulb only. I believe I have just found them, for the ones I'm selling/trading. I found both clear lens, flutted lense, and flutted amber lense. At Carquest, part # 4412 for flutted clear, and #4412a for flutted amber. I believe it is a 6" (measured total width). Either way, if its not it, carquest is where to look, as I have looke at Autozone, napa, also and Carquest is the only place Ive found them. |

Thanks Kevin. I did some research and found that the 4412 should be the right bulb. I will check Carquest. Did I miss a lamp you were selling?

Thanks, I wish it was a little straighter. Might have to play with that.
I called carquest and they could get the clear bulb. I then called Hill Piston and they will have a amber one for me tomorrow for $14. Can't beat that deal!

No you didnt miss them, I wasnt selling them but someones got some tires I need so off they are going. Insider trading. Sorry. The carquest by me has them in amber, its the a at the end that makes them amber. But that is way cheaper than car quest. I was about to go get them but I think I may do some more research to find them cheaper. |

Hill Piston where I am getting my light is a Auto Value store now. Used to be independent. Is there a Auto Value near you? www.800autotalk.com/index.html |

It should be just a simple hook up......
1.) Fused Hot lead to switch
2.) Switch to light
3.) Light grounds to beetle.
If you need help just ask.
