19Fordy Well-known member Nov 17, 2016 #2 Here's a start: However, I installed halogen headlights when I changed to 12V. No problems encountered except that I had to grind off the little "****" on the bulb to make the bezel fit. http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101738&highlight=Volt+bulb+conversion Also this info may help: http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=142232&highlight=list+12V+bulbs Plus, read through these sites. https://www.google.com/webhp?source...=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=bulbs for 12v conversion Tons of info. here. https://www.google.com/webhp?source...UTF-8#q=automotive+light+bulb+cross+reference Attachments DSC07781 (Small).JPG 35.7 KB · Views: 7 Last edited: Nov 17, 2016

19Fordy Well-known member Nov 17, 2016 #4 51 MERC-CT Thanks for that chart. I printed it out. Also OP might want to consider using 12V LED bulbs where possible. For example: Here's a dome light bulb from components bought on line. I think complete bulbs are now available. Much, much brighter and much cooler (less heat) than OEM 6V. https://www.superbrightleds.com/?gclid=CPbo8ObQsNACFQIRaQoduUQK3A https://www.superbrightleds.com/?gclid=CPbo8ObQsNACFQIRaQoduUQK3A Attachments IMG_2246b.jpg 29.6 KB · Views: 10 IMG_2247b.jpg 37.6 KB · Views: 11 IMG_2249b.jpg 32 KB · Views: 9 IMG_2250b.jpg 29.7 KB · Views: 6 IMG_2254b.jpg 25.7 KB · Views: 7 Last edited: Nov 17, 2016
