rear light info

[BFR]

Does anyone have the specs for the bulbs in the rear composite lights? I am primarily interested in the bulb(s) that provide the stop/turn/tail functions.

 

[jwaller]

what specs are you looking for? part #'s?

 

[BFR]

I can work with either watts , or amperage of each function.

This was just the question I was going to ask.......I'm looking for the extra light bulbs just to keep on hand.

just checking......but these are the bulbs I need for the taillights as well as the Front Composite Light.......??

Why would some of the numbers be different.....?? Are they not the same.....??

Thanks,

This does put some light on the subject.......I wish I had seen the link before

I saw a thread on led lights on the sight a while back and as far as the rears, I am considering them. Bulbs ,not lights.

Can the bulbs be purchased at the local auto parts store?

Often, yes.

Here is what you need to ask for:

Why do the 1683’s have two filaments…….??

Thanks,

C’dub

No. They are all single element. That is why there are different bulbs for stop and tail.

They are brighter and also have redundancy - if one filament breaks, the bulb still works.

 

[ida34]

I read the post wrong. Yes two filaments but only one element.

 

[cranetruck]

The filaments are connected in parallel, which means that if one breaks, the second will not be as bright, you still have to replace the bulb.
Two filaments in parallel = 1 amp
Only one filament = 1/2 amp

Hey Guys,

Thanks for the help with the filament thingie.

Now what the heck are these things........LED's that plug into the light socket...???

They are numbers 5 and 6 in the illustration.

Thanks,

C'dub

They are the LED versions of the black out bulbs.. They last ALOT longer than that bulbs. But, I seriously doubt that any of us drive using them, so for our purposes, they are really kinda useless..

I keep bulbs in my black out sockets, that way if Im on the road and a bulb blows, I can take a black out bulb and put it in the service drive socket and it will get me home... even if it's not the propper bulb, it will work good enough in a pinch...

Great idea Mark, Thanks for the tip.
