Turn Signal indicator bulb

[Loose Deuce]

Where can I get a indicator bulb for my turn signal on the steering colum ? the bulb has 24V3W I guess it means 24 Volt, and 3 watts ?

Saturn didn't have any.

Try NAPA. The've always had any bulb I needed.

Make sure its grounded well, I thought my bulb was bad and it turned out to be a bad ground

To just test out the blinker, reach over to the dash, unscrew one of the 3 dash light covers, pull the bulb and stick it in the blinker. Any of them will fit.

To find the bulb, NAPA should have it. But, I have found my local O'Reilly's has 24V bulbs a lot cheaper. Have to wait a day, but a lot cheaper.

Bulb numbers

I keep a stash of bulbs in plastic bins in my shop. I don't have the numbers off the top of my head, but I'm heading down to finish up on a 2 1/2 ton trailer I've sold and I'll write down the numbers. They are simple to obtain. A quich search on ebay should help as well as truck lighting specialty shops like LightHouse. I buy a lot of electrical items from them. 24 volts is no stranger to them.

Oh the bulb is definately blown, it turned black and everything works ok. If the dash bulbs will fit, I'll put one of those in then, its not like it will be on all the time.

What is the correct number for the dash lights and turn signal......??

The parts manual shows all kinds of different numbers....??

1873
1829

I would like to pick up some spairs myself at the MTA meet.

Thanks,

I use 1864 bulbs. They are a little brighter than stock but don't melt the lenses.

Bulbus

I like 1820 for the turn signal and panel lights, they are the brightest for this size and can easilly be seen even in the daylight. The others previously will also work and I have them as backups in case I run out of 1820's.

The large turn signal/brake lights use 1683.

The smaller drive lights and B/O lights use 1251's

RE: Bulbus

With all these different bulbs, I'm guessing the only difference is the candle power...??
