6 volt bulbs

[Ken/Alabama]

OOPS...The 1156 bulbs are 12 volt - not 6 volt

They do have 1156 in 6 volt but they’re single contact not dual contact like the taillight/ brake light bulbs are.

Ken is this the correct bulbs for tail lights?

Recently bought some 6 volt 1129 LED bulbs for my '41 p-u brake lights. Was disappointed because I don't see any improvement in lumens compared to the incandescent bulbs.
I did order some 'extra bright' ones on Amazon today, so we'll see. No pun intended.

FWIW, my new 51 converted to 12 v came with red LEDs inside the taillight lens. Couldn’t see them, so I replaced them with white LEDs. What a difference, so don’t think about using red LEDs inside a red lens.
