fedoragent Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 Hello Gang, Long time no see. I drove the Plymouth for the first time in four weeks as I'd been traveling for work. And I realized that my passenger side headlight was toast. Does anyone know the replacement part from O'Reilly's or Napa? Thanks, FG. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) All you should need to ask for is a 6 volt headlight. They probably only carry one brand - whatever it may be. Think mine came from O'Reilly some time back. As you may know, they simply plug in to a socket, once you get past the headlight bezel and the retaining ring.

E.L Lane's 48 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 I think it is 6006. I got mine from O'Reilys Quote

Well if it were a 6 volt sealed beam, 12 volts would burn it out fast. Any parts store will have 12 volt sealed beams, and very elcheapo.... Quote
fedoragent Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Posted February 13, 2011 Folks, I went to Oreillys and found a great replacment and I drove home the car this evening just fine and happy.

BobT-47P15 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Ooops.....didn't realize you were 12 V. How about - remove the non working light and take it to the store to show them what is needed. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Bob, he never made that clear in his original post...thus we are left to assume he is running stock..little details make all the difference.. Edited February 13, 2011 by Tim Adams Quote
fedoragent Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Posted February 14, 2011 Gents, Apologies for the vagueness. I typed that from a mobile browser so didn't want to be long on the onscreen keyboard. I have the new lamp in and everything is fine. Yes, 12V, no 6. Now, I need to figure something new out as something happened driving down Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. FG. Quote

BobT-47P15 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah, Frankie.......that's the new question........ "Not the headlite, what happened on Sunset"...... Quote
Frank Elder Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Ouch shel, that hurts:rolleyes:Good thing I was wearing my bullet proof vest. Bob you are so right, sorry Fedora my post was the most vague post on the whole thread:oBut I do appreciate the detailed 12 volt headlite info...somebody on here can surely make use of it. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 I believe you should have included the time of day...and be specific on the time zone also.. joking of course but the changes you have made in your car from stock is really important in getting the right answer..thanks for the updated info..personally I go straight to the profile page to see make and model..but it is not in your profile either..this is often why I do not answer as i cannot be specific to every condition Quote
