My son just purchased a 1953 gmc with a 6 volt spotlight. We changed it to 12 volt and need a 12 volt bulb for the spotlight. Does anyone know where we can order one.

Hy jdzcno, welcome, if you tell us the number on the bulb, we may be able to identify a compatable twelve volt replacement.

Just one place www.unityusa.com to look.

The only markings on the light are sealed B-L-C spot. There are no other markings.

Is this a picture of your 6v bulb?

See the first listing under "Fog & Driving Sealed Beam 6-8 Volt Light Bulbs" at taillightking.com Perhaps he can find a 12v bulb.

I looked for one at donsbulbs.com, but did not have enough info. The only BLC listed at Don's is 130volt.

Might keep an eye on this thread on VCCA. Similar question to yours.

It is the same except for the little plate and screw. They are not on ours.

The pic was on the page that I linked to on taillightking <dot> com. Looks like the center screw connects to a terminal on the end of the hot wire. And the outer screw connects to ground. Call the guys at "taillight" and at "unity" to discuss and find a 12v substitute.

Not sure if hi-beam sealed beam quad headlight were 5-1/2" diam or 5-3/4" diam. It's not ideal, but you might be able to use push-on spade terminals to adapt one to your spotlight if there is enough space in the housing. Watch for high current draw.
