Normspeed Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 I finally got moving today, too hot to do much, it was between 105-110 at my place. I worked under the shade canopies and installed some fresh taillight lenses and blue dots. Took me all day. These 6 volt setups always work so nice and bright after you clean up all the grounds and contacts. I rebuilt my backup light sockets, the old wires had broken off. Everything is good except I broke both bulbs and can't read the old numbers. They are the same dimensions as a 1034 or 1157 bulb, except 6 volt, single filament and single center contact on bottom. Anyone know the number and a source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TodFitch Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 Could be an 1129 Probably a 1129: Single contact 6v 21 cp bulb. See: http://www.ply33.com/Backmatter/lightbulbs That should still be available but maybe not at your local bubble wrap auto supply. Doing a Google search on "1129 lamp 6v" brings up a number of possibilities including what appears to be a quartz-halogen replacement.

Normspeed Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Found a few offers on ebay. I went for the glutton pack, 5 boxes with a total of 46 new 1129 bulbs, for $12 with priority mail shipping. Old stock from a closed camera shop, listed as automotive or photo applications. So, if any forum folks need an 1129 or two, shoot me a note. I wonder, were these used in the front parking lights on P15s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemaker Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Howdy Norm, when you get those 1129's, I'll buy a few off you. I'm always short of 1129's. Hey, when's the bar-B-Q? Good day for it today, it only gonna be 105 here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normspeed Posted September 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 No problem on the bulbs. Yeah, you could bbq without a grill the last few days. I've been staying inside, drinking too much coffee, It's too hot out to even wash the car and bike. Rented a couple DVDs. At the thrift store I picked up 10 cassettes (my Air Conditioned Festiva only has a cassette player) including a set of Time Life cassettes. 7 or 8 of them, with good quality original songs from 40's into the 50's. Plus a Willie Nelson, all for 10 bucks. First one I popped in started with a great old Les Paul/Mary Ford song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
