1933 DeSoto Bulbs

[grubby65]

I'm trying to figure out which bulbs to install in my 1933 DeSoto.  I have an original parts book plus the instruction booklet but none of them list any type of replacement bulb.  The two I'm having issues with are:

1)  Tail light/Brake light.  The bulb which was in it has TS1175 on it.  Try as I might, this bulb number does not exist.  I have some 1158's coming, hopefully they will work.

2)  Park light bulb (which goes in the head light housing).  There were no bulbs in the sockets so I have no number to reference.  I'm going to try and 87 and an 81.

 

Does anyone know if there is chart or a book to reference these vintage bulbs?

There is a quick reference chart in the Resources Info under the Resources tab at the top of the forum page has replacement bulbs.

 

Also, @TodFitch has a great site that has more in depth info of part numbers for the light bulbs in question, along with other parts. The light bulbs are on this webpage https://www.ply33.com/Parts/group8 you'll have to scroll down to almost the bottom.

 

According to both places the 1158 for the tail lights will be OK, but you'll need 63's for the parking lights without turn signals.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for.
