Check your light socket and see wether it is offset or parallel pin, as both bulbs are available. Regards, Kevin.
Mac's PN# 49-11483-1 @ $1.95 they are not halogen. Check it out let me know what you think.

I just called Mac's and they said that bulb is a 21/3 CP even though the picture on their site shows one of the CP numbers as 14 which is the second number of the Sacramanto 50/14 bulb. I was told that they do not sell any 50/14 bulb. So, according to phone call to Mac's it's a standard stock brightness. But, may be brighter if they actually sell the bulb shown in their picture. Or, you can buy the one from Sacramento and know what you're getting here: http://www.vintageford.com/part_sear...3-6sb&Category

Well I must be loosing it because I cant find that bulb part number (49-11483-1) in any of my Macs catalogues including the latest 2015 edition. Ive been through seven of them and its not there. Anyway go with the Sacramento vintage Ford bulbs. Original Ford tail lights have parallel pin sockets and reproduction tail lights have offset pin sockets in most cases so buy the correct bulbs for your application. Regards. Kevin.
