12v marker lights

[jrobinson5093]

how would one go about wiring 12v side marker lights on a deuce? I wired two lights in series i believe and they work but are dim. how could I wire them up to be bright and last. I keep reading about relays being used to turn on 12v stuff. How do I use a relay to have 24v turn on 12v items? Is it a special relay? o and they go down the side of the truck, not corner marker lights.

I would use the 24volt standard side marker for the m35a3 and follow their wiring diagram.

does anyone know the 24v counter part to the 12v 194 bulb?

464 according to the chart on this site

Why do 24v bulbs cost so much?

Very small market share compared to a 12V.

I bought a bunch of 24v light bulbs(variety pack with all bulbs the truck uses for it's factory lights) from a fella on epay, very reasonable price. Then just swap out any bulbs that fit the housings you want to use, easy as pie....that's how I run my lighting.

Package of ten 24v 194 type bulbs is $18 shipped from finditparts.com

I ordered mine 11/16 and they haven't shipped yet though. Edit: After posting this I called them and it was delivered at my apartment today. They didn't email the tracking number for some reason.

Napa had a few in the store but they were about $2 each. I guess I only saved $2 online. I needed 7 of them though (6 markers and a license plate light).
