silly light question

Apologies guys, I'm out of state at work and can't go out to the truck to go look.... And not much luck on pinz websites aside from "you'll need 24v 21w bulbs".

Short version - what model bulbs do our trucks use for tail lighs? 1157s?

standing by.....and thanks!

Since your truck is Austrian it has different tail lamps.
If they contain combi bulbs(2 filliment) then 1662 is the tail lamp number.
But I suspect that you will need 2 9030756 RL 24v 21w Ba 15s(single pole)DIN 72601 and 1 9040701 G 24v 10w Ba 15s (single pole) DIN 72601 bulbs for each tail lamp.
Variations found in parts catalog section 9 80 Illustration 56, items # 63 and 65

thanks JIm - I didn't realize there were so many variables!

I'm thinking about swapping to the diesel taillight setup soon, so that's where the question would evolve.... I've got almost all the parts sourced, then I can get some pics and start showing people what's going on!

Why :!:
The tail lamps you have are far more visible(brighter) than the TD ones :shock:

this is the problem with trying to procure parts while working out of state..... impossible for me to keep everything straight in my head.

Based on your always-sage advice Jim....I'll disregard this idea immediately!

hope the warming trend continues for when I get home.....just one more week!
