I need a new 6V headlight "bulb" for my '48 F-1. I looked at my usual sources (C&G, Carpenter) and find that they offer halogen, but not the regular incandescent ones in 6V. I can't believe that they aren't out there!! 6V, not 12V. Does anyone have a source?

Did you try Napa? They recently had them.

Any REAL parts store....ask for a #6006 headlight bulb. Ask the OLD guy behind the counter! DD

I find that Joe's Antiques has a great selection of bulbs, both 6V and 12V, and they are very reasonably priced. That is where I get my parts from.
