mkirsch said: (quoted from post at 15:04:49 07/01/14) Seriously? The first response to the question is, "There are no 12 volt H light bulbs as all H's were 6 Volt from the factory?"
Is it really that much of a mental stretch to conclude that the tractor has been converted to 12V and he's trying to make the lights work?
Gents, life is too short for this "grumpy old man" baloney. I had to put up with a bunch of it over last weekend, and I'm fed up. It causes more problems than it resolves.
When your response involves, "We've always done it this way, and it can't be done any other way," or variations on that theme, strongly consider keeping your opinion to yourself.
1156 or 1143 bulbs are both good alternatives. The filaments may not be oriented exactly right for the correct police, but they will shine light.
1143 isn't an alternative. It was factory equipment for the 12 volt M diesels. 1156 is a readily-sourced bulb, and probably the best alternative if you can't find an 1143.
There are probably a dozen or more 12V single contact bulbs that that on paper that will put out the same light. If you just want to "shine light", pick any of them. There's many reasons that there are a dozen different ones.
