    Here is my dilemma. Im currently rewiring my 1955 CJ5 original speedometer into a new harness I bought from Walcks. While Im there I figured I would replace the bulbs. The bulbs that are in there do not have a makers mark or part number. I cannot seem to find a thread or a seller on eBay that sells them. The guy at auto zone gave me a funny look and said he couldn't help me when I showed him a bulb. Would anyone happen to have a part number or a link where I could buy all 6?

    For 6 volts #51 or # 55 bulbs are what you want, the 51 is ~2 watts, the 55 is I think 6.

    You should be able to get these through an FLAPS, if not try the Tail Light King

    No problem, the google-fu was upon me :)

    How are you liking the Walck's harness? I'm in the process of puttiing mine in to.
