24v light part #s

[crazzyrman]

What are the part #s for the marker & turn signal lights on the Humvee?
I have searched this forum & others, but I haven't found the bulb part #s for 24v bulbs. I went to batteries + bulbs & all they could come up with was 12v bulbs when I told him it was a mv with a 24v system.
I'm also looking for the 24v equivalent to an 12v 1157 trailer bulb.
I don't want to run 12v bulbs & have to keep replacing them constantly, I have tried that using lower voltage Christmas light & flash light bulbs in things "to get by" & they burn bright, but never have lasted more than 5-10 hours before burning out.

No smart-a intended, but:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=12v+to+24v+bulb+conversion+chart

Clicking on the first link found in the above search yields a link to a 12v to 24v miniature lamp equivalency chart. In that said chart 12v #1157 cross references to 24v #1662

The best is this PDF chart in this post: 6V/12V/24V conversion chart
http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showth...mposite-Lights&p=456474&viewfull=1#post456474

The bulb numbers for the brake/tail/marker lights are (in no particular order) 1683, 1251, and 623.
Erik's gives some descriptions of "common applications" if you click the links on his page:

Or Erik's if your local store doesn't carry them http://search.store.yahoo.net/yhst-...urplus.com/#GA_CLIENT_ID=896967069.1465245468

Take a bulb out and get the number off of it.

I was just wondering about this.

Are there no Headlight alternatives?

thank you, the above info was what I needed. I had found that chart at some point but I didn't know what bulbs the Humvee used & I wasn't looking for the 1157 conversion at that time. As for pulling out a bulb & checking the numbers, that wasn't working, I had one were the base was corroded & I couldn't read them, another were someone just put a 12v 1156 in, another just missing, so I didn't trust anything in the Humvee at that point. I went to a store that specializes in having odd bulbs that others don't (batteries + bulbs) & they only could cross reference to 12v bulbs even though I told him it was a 24v system (they didn't even have 24v bulbs in stock to compare visually) & they couldn't even cross reference what 24v bulb would fit an 1157 12v socket.

I bought them in bulk since I have a bunch of trucks. Think I got all of my bulk here. http://bayareaamusements.com/Mercha...egory_Code=LBU&Per_Page=21&Sort_By=disp_order

I picked up a 10 pack of the 1662s from o'reilly auto parts for around $6

I have 100 bulb boxes of 1662's for $25 plus shipping if anyone is interested........

Maybe that's where I got them then, I have the same boxes..... Hard to remember when you buy hundreds of parts for multiple vehicles....
