Chris Warne Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Has anyone got a source for the French army replacement bulbs as fitted to many of their US vehicles? I'm close to finishing my 1942 GMC CCKW 353, and the headlights have yellow Marchal bulbs with a 3 x spade terminals on the base of the bulb, similar to a jeep sealed beam unit, if that helps visualise? One of these has blown, but ideally I'd like a pair in white - 6 volt. Rex hasn't got any of these "strange French things" - my first port of call - and I've drawn a blank on the usualy classic auto electric sites...:cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willyslancs Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 not sure if it helps mate , but we used old 6v beetle headlights with the side light in them ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Warne Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Cheers for the suggestion. Problem is sorted now.... after a quick measure, and further searching, it turns out these French Marchal bulbs are easily available and are a P45t (old R2) fitting, with 6 volt 45/45w being easy to find at around £2.50 a go! :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
