That is a funny thing. I just learned about how the inner bulbs are a different type even after having my red car since 2000! You'd think a restoration shop would know long before me.

Diffrent type??

I don't work at being a sexy guy, it just happens. I naturally put out a vibe that women like.

Thanks, fresh ammo is always appreciated.

The tailight bulbs are 1157 with the exception of 1095 being used on the inner lights, this is so you rear lights are all uniform when lit.....

Ah! Thanks Mike, I unwittingly have the right set-up

There are some other bulbs to install on the inner location. Even 1095 bulb would be the correct one, anyone with similar wattage of the low intensity filament of the 1157 ( 5.5-8.5 watts )  and same bayonet socket size of the 1095 will work.

This is a list of them

#67 MINIATURE BULB BA15S BASE - 13.5 Volt .59 Amp

#89 MINIATURE BULB BA15S BASE - 13.0 Volt .58 Amp

#97 MINIATURE BULB BA15S BASE - 13.5 Volt .69 Amp


While the original one is:

#1095 MINIATURE BULB BA15S BASE 14 Volts .51 amp

So the wattage will be about the same. The difference of these with the 1095 is the filament design/shape and the glove size.

So, with all those options, and being the 1095 still available ( Althought not growing from trees ) I CAN NOT and neither stand a restorer making this mistake every time I see a 69/70 built by them.

It is great to learn new things. There are times that  I pick up something new from this show. Rarely have I seen them make a glaring mistake.

I don't see the show, just quite often some of the vids they post floating on on my Fb wall ( I follow them ) and is not the first time I see stuff like this, which shouldn't come from an "expert". Even less on the BASIC AND EASY stuff. Damn! How wouldn't you know the right bulb for it if it's even on owners manuals!!! And being SO VISIBLE AND OBVIOUS there is something wrong on it! You should at least search why! And on an ICONIC CAR and so popular car!

I think posted earlier on this thread about another mistake about how to know the diff between A and B/E bodies LCAs. A friend of mine contacted Worman to ask about this, and we found he replied with a wrong answer, being just right the opposite he told to my friend!!!
