Would like to know if anybody has found an Amber 6 Volt Park Light & Turn Signal Bulbs? The wiring harness came with the double contact sockets already attached. Just had to drill out the hole in the back of the park light, to 3/4 of an inch. Don't want to put Amber lenses on them. I like the stock look. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rugo

look for 6V or 12V and you should be good to go.

Tiny, I took a look at the inventory in the website that you attached. I have just emailed the fellow about some products. Brad, good idea with the VW angle. I will widen my search, to include VW 6 volt bulbs. Tim, I like the idea of the LED, for the brightness and the lack of voltage it needs. Just not sure I want all those little lights shining through my clear lense. Trying to stay a bit more period correct. Though, I have not ruled them out. I really appreciate your help guys. If anybody else has any other suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Rugo

Some of the bulbs were available at NAPA, or other parts store. The Amber Park Light/ Turn Signal, wasn't available in the 6 volt version. But the 1154A, was available and at a fair price. Here is the link again. http://www.taillightking.com/light_bulbs.htm I have some on their way now. Thanks to everybody that gave advice and direction. Rugo
