Anyone have a 6V bulb number
 

Does anyone know the 6V bulb number for a 41 high beam indicator socket???

P51 has the smaller globe, P55 has the larger globe. Don't know the candle
power of each but one is brighter than the other.

I have a number of each. Hope this helps. John

The #51 bulb is 1 candle power and was used for various dash lighting applications on the old 6-volt vehicles.

Is there another number or "Body" number, Napa isn't showing anything 6V with p51 and the ones I've found on Ebay that look like the bulb aren't showing "51" or "P51" as a number??

I think Mazda-GE made the original numbers for the old Ford bulbs. This was when Thomas Edison was still around. Ford put their own part numbers on the GE bulbs. C&G has a pretty good run down here.

The 51-6V and 55-6V pictured in the above link are the ones that are mentioned in post#2.

This is "LIKE" what I am looking. The glass is the same size as the body. The socket fits horizontal "almost" flush against the dash behind the hi beam indicator jewel. There are a few listed on Ebay BUT cannot verify the diameter of the base is correct OR not sure IF there were more than one "small" sized body for this type of bulb. THE socket receptacle I have is for a 1941 Ford Pickup Hi Beam indicator!!!

Macs has a bulb that looks like the one you are looking for.
Part #13466-0044. It is listed for a 53-55 Mercury radio dial, but the same light bulbs are used for many other places. The bulb is the same size as the base.

It is listed in the 49-59 Ford catalog on page 157 along with all the interior
light bulbs. Hope this helps, best wishes, John

It is likely the same socket type as the #51 (BA9s). There were #44 and #47 numbers with the elongated globe. The difference is the candle power. The #44 is brighter than the #47. They used the #44 in a lot of pin ball machines so they are still available. I doubt if that is what the car originally had though. The #51 should have been OEM for quite a few years in the 6-volt era. The #51 has a very slightly higher candle power than the #44.

You can use the #44 if it fits better than the #51.
