Default 6 Volt Red LED Positive Ground Bulbs

I just came across these 6 volt positive ground red bulbs, in case someone wants to paly around with making turn signals or a third brake light. They do have an odd socket though.

This even has a screw terminal, not some short 24 awg lead on it.

Thanks Bruce.
The bulbs I listed are then smaller than I thought, so they won't work for what I had in mind.

German cars of the 50s, 60s had that base for instrument cluster bulbs, very low wattages----not many of the cars with that base were + ground though

I'm going to order some of these for blinkers in my headlights, i'll let you know if they are any good. Just a warning if ordering anything direct from china it takes ages to get to you, in Australia anyway. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/302118929...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I've had good luck with this outfit. Several 6V +Ground. You just have to read the descriptions for each bulb.

I can't find much on the BA7 base, but, I think its 10mm rather than 5/8"[19mm] like the BA15 that we need.


This is a BA15S #1056 in 6v LED. Seems like it should work for us but I don't know if its polarity sensitive.

I clicked on your link, and then another link until I found bulb polarity, and it said "N/A", so I take that to mean it would with either ground polarity.
