[Grant Bowker]

Does this look like it might do?

I haven't dealt with either company so can't comment on service, either good or bad. The listing from Drake uses a part number 48-13007-12V, was 48-13007 the original number?


If it helps, my search string was: prefocus headlight bulb 12V Ford

Forget car part numbers. You need to use the bulb type/socket part numbers

The kind you are looking for a P15D-30 bulb.

LEDLight sells them. Ive got 6v ones in my CMP and Jeep and will be putting the 12v ones in the Otter.

My only word of advice. Once you get them, melt in a bit of solder in the joint of the outer ring and the socket base. Otherwise the three undersized dimples will loosen and the bulb will rotate in the outer ring. This results in the contacts not matching up.

I noted a number of years ago the difference between 6 and 12 volt bulbs and sockets was that the contacts on the bulb ore 90 degrees off between them.

Looked up those sites and looked OK. I bought a standard 12/21W bulb with bayonet fittings and ground those off and found I could sweat off the ring on the old 6 volt and solder back onto the new 12 volt, fits perfect , so maybe this is an option if you have the time to tinker, cheers Andrew.

In the US, you can get them from Normanlamps.com. They’re in both 12v and 6v.
