Mike: The thread you are looking for was started by Ken/Alabama on 9/2/21 and titled 6 volt bulbs. I hope this helps. I have some 1157's ordered myself, I think. Looking for numbers on dash lights now myself. Lawson

Could be, I waited a few weeks to get them but once I got them I was good with the wait. We’ll see how long they last.

That is what I am using in the taillights for my 53' Merc. Before I put them in, my wife said she could never tell if my tail lights or brake lights were on, when she followed me.
