'ORIGINAL' TAIL-LIGHT??? 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be barongrey on  Fri Jun 10 02:47 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have my left tail-light disassembled because I'm looking for a problem with the left turn signal.

While cleaning 3 or 4 decade's crud off the tail lamp bulbs, I ran across something a little out of the ordinary.

My left tail light bulb is something I've not seen before, and I'm wondering if it is one of the original factory-installed bulbs.

First, the metal part of the bulb is white metal, not brass like you'd expect.

Second, the inscription reads: PHILLIPS 1073 12/16V 32CP[] Holland.

Hmmm...not a 1156 or 1157 like the others...

Comments?

I'm going to upgrade to at least halogen, or maybe LED bulbs for the increased safety and visibility.

Steve
