Civy headlight number?

[cbvet]

Can't find my notes. Can someone tell me the part number for 24v civilian headlights?
I know, they won't have the rubber leads, but I can solder.

Did you Google it or search? I found a couple on ebay for 10 bucks each just by searching

7 round headlight 24V

Yes I searched. The ebay ad says they are 24 volt, but according to NAPA #6024 is a 12 volt bulb.

You solder them directly?

I remove the rubber leads from the burned out bulb, & solder them to the new bulb.
I'm still looking, but I found a possible number GE 13342.

Do the H4 conversion, Buy 7" Hella reflectors, and 70/75 watt 24v lights. (i got a pakage deal from amazon) You won't be sorry, and I think there cheaper. You will also need the h4 socket, which you can solder your old headlight leads to, to make a one time job of it.

The reflectors drop right in.

Headlight, 24 Volt, Sealed Beam w/ Rubber Shell Connectors, 8741491 / 4863-1 / GE 4860

Read the listing. It has 2 civy part numbers at the bottom.

Could I get that info from you so I can order from amazon as well? Thanks

also on ebay, sometimes pretty good price. if you drive much at night you will not regret it. you can also get higher watt bulbs.

I found those numbers too, but NAPA says they're no longer available.
I guess I'll look into the Hella option.

Here is a nice article Cabell wrote on the headlights. This from his M37 but really no difference.

This is what I ordered. I just cut the old leads off of the headlights and soldered them to the headlight socket. So when I have to change the lightbulb, it is plug and play.
