[Phred]

Can anyone give me the NAPA or Mazda numbers for 12volt headlight and tail light bulbs?

Thanks in advance!
Peace

I have had no luck getting the 1188's or 1000's from my local parts stores. This is what was said to me:

"It's not in the computer, and I could look in the books all day and not find it. Sorry"

I feel very sorry for these younger kids. So reliant on computers they are stupid. It's sad that I see it and I am only 30.

Isn't the 1188 6V though? He needs 12V

Sorry, the list I was reading off of said the 1188 was 12v, but it is actually rated at 5.5v per https://www.interlight.biz/light-bulb/1188

Further checking revealed that the 1000 is also listed at 6.2v not 12 http://www.donsbulbs.com/cgi-bin/r/b.pl/1000~mazda.html

More checking:
if you list the part # as 1000-12v or 1188-12v, then you get 12v. (without the "-12v", you get 6v)

If I needed 12 volt headlight bulbs I would go to Ron Francis Wire Works, (800) 292-1940, wire-works.com. They probably also have tail light bulbs. I am using their bulbs in my '32 headlights and they are very bright.

It seems most people that go to 12 v use a halogan bulb, for a "regular" bulb, also see Dons bulbs .

Go to your local NAPA store. Tell them that you would like to see their lamp catalog. The catalog has diagrams of all the bulbs that they carry. You can select a bulb by, type of base, bulb size, wattage, candle power, and voltage. If they don't have the bulb that you want in stock, ask them if they could order it from their warehouse. You may have to buy a box of ten if they have to order them from the warehouse. I work for NAPA in Mansfield, Ohio, and I just went through this for my son-in-law for some bulbs he needed for his turn signals on his Model A. If I can be of any help, please ask and I will see if I can locate some of those bulb numbers.

I have a list of the bulb numbers for Model A applications in a Word document format along with a list of modern part numbers for most of the elctrical parts. The numbers in the list of bulbs were taken off the bulbs themselves. Send me your email address and will send you the list. My email address is [email protected] Got my 1188 12V bulb from Arizona Model A 15838 S. Gilbert Rd. Chandler, AZ 85225 (480) 782-0266 for about $1.50 each. I have gone to NAPA, Don's bulbs and other stores for the headlights and the numbers do not match what is stamped on the bulb so who do you trust? THe 1100 bulb was an original from Mazda lamp co.
