I have a 1948 Chevy 3100 truck. It has a spotlight on the driver's side post which needs a bulb replacement. I am not having much luck finding one. All I find is the entire spotlight unit. Any idea as to where I might locate one?

Unityusa.com should have it. Others suppliers may be out there.

Does your light use a sealed beam bulb? If so Unity may be able to help. If your light has the reflector bulb combo you'll likely need to buy an 1183 bulb for a six volt application. I don't know what the bulb would be for 12v if you've converted to 12v. If you're still 6v and can't find 1183 bulbs locally you can get them on ebay.

It looks like a sealed beam light bulb and it is loose in the housing. I would think there is a spring or something behind the bulb to push it up against the housing if that makes sense?
