Has anyone found an amber colored bulb for the cowl lights? I believe it is a #63. My cowl lights are used as turn signals and I want to keep the original lenses so thought a yellow bulb would be good. Has anyone done this? Source for the bulb? The car is 6v positive ground. Thanks guys

I bought mine a couple of years back at CW Moss when I was passing them by one day. I bought like 4 of them and I just had my last spare go out. For some reason, they don't last long and the metal to the bulb joint seems weak, and the glass is a little loose. I think this time I'm going to go a different route and make my own using a translucent glass paint.

You can buy glass die at the crafts stores. Should handle the on/off of the turn signals. Check the LED sellers, they may have bulbs in different colors.

6 Volt Negative Ground Chassis - Automotive LED Lights
(many of above LED's don't care which ground is used, but they do have a section for positive ground)
I have seen a number of amber colored bulb where the globe was painted from the suppliers, not all were amber glass.
 
Thanks for the good ideas guys. I thought about using glass paint but couldn't find it locally so gave up on that.

Has anyone used the led bulbs from Snyders?

Might try Restoration Supply Co.
 
Mine are amber LED, but 12 volt. I think the place I got them in the UK has them in 6 volt as well. (info@dynamoregulatorconversions.com)
 
Back in the early 60's when they first came out the parts manager at the Pont/Caddie dealership and I tried "tinting" the regular bulbs, didn't work.

I painted the bulbs with yellow paint, but I didn't like the look, you can see the yellow bulb. I now use as amber leds
Available from Amazon.
