LED cross-reference for various small bulbs
Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2019 9:04 pm
I'm in the process of replacing all the little bulbs on my 712 AMB-s with LED bulbs and I'm looking for all the cross-references I can find. I see others have posted all the dash indicator bulbs. I will annotate these later.
As I find all these bulbs I will update in Bold.
Front trun signal lamps (13421 24V 20W): I recommend AUTOGINE 1156 replacements (polarity and voltage insensitive) in amber.
AMB-S licence plate bulbs: 14W DR.G.FISCHER ST 24V4W (Not sure the actual wattage of these but I think 4--the fixture has a 2W sticker inside) These are BA9s (9mm bayonet).
AMB-S Ambulence Box dome light bulbs? 4W BA9s for the dim and 13W BA15s (1156 size) for bright.
Map light in cab? 4W BA9s again! Room for a longer LED replacement
Lamp in emergency flasher switch (13829 PHILLIPS 24V3W A3); This is a 7mm bayonet connector known as a VDO Type A or BA7s. LEDs in 6 or 12 volts are common as these were used in Volkswagens. I looked everywhere for 24v and found some on eBay from Bulgaria listed in French (on order)
Spedometer and gas gauge lights (these need to be brighter--they are overwhelmed by the dash indicator strip at night)? Suprise 4W BA9s again..
As others have covered, The 4/6 WD indicator, locker indicators, and dash indicator strip are all BA9s. You need short LEDs for the dash (more space) but the locker indicator housings have lots of room.
Superbrightleds.com is a great site in general but not so much for 24/28V. They have no BA7s offering in 24/28v and only the landscaping lamp type for 24/28v. They also don't offer warm white in 24v--I'm not a fan of cool white on my dash at night. 6000K is the color of midday sun but surrounded by darkness the brain perceives a lot of blue in it. As another poster has pointed out these landscaping bulbs have to be sanded down to fit the dash indicator strip. There are lots of short BA9s 24'/28v offerings on Amazon/Ebay but usually in lots of 10 or 20. I'm converting my instrument lights and the dim mode of my ambulance dome light to red. Imay also buy a 10 pack of green. Not sure what is most economical for white and blue. If you see me aroumd ask me for exrea LED bulbs
