wanted - other 1936 Plymouth P2 Deluxe taillight/brake bulb

[Bill Turner]

Where can I find a taillight/brake light bulb.

It's a 6 volt dual contact, dual filament bayonet style with both bayonets at the bottom, not offset.  Any help would be appreciated.

You are looking for an 1158 bulb (dual contact bayonet base, 21cp for brake filament, 3cp for tail light). In the Chrysler parts books that would have a part number of 142449. If the pins were staggered (called “indexed” instead of “bayonet”) you would be looking for an 1154 bulb. See https://www.ply33.com/Backmatter/lightbulbs for a list of bulbs that might be useful for you vintage Plymouth.

 

A quick check shows you can still get them through O'Reilly Auto Parts, NAPA Auto Parts and probably other local and chain auto supply stores.

There are LED replacement available as well that are much brighter.   A welcome safety improvement in my mind
