Tail light bulbs for 1928 Drum Tail light...

[Steve Plucker]

In looking at the Drum Taillight light bulb attchments, it appears that the upper attachment is for a single contact bulb and the lower attachment is for a double contact bulb both utilizing stright pins for attachment, I think.

That being the case, just what are the bulb numbers associated with each one?

Thanks.

No, they are both single contact bulbs. The lower one is the tail light and the upper one is the brake light.

I assume you want 6 volt bulbs.

The tail light is a #63 (3 cp) bulb.

For the brake light you can use an EIKO A-4513 for the original 21 cp brightness, or an #1133 bulb (32 cp) to be brighter, have the brake light seen better.

Hope this helps.

Jim,

Thank you for your reply.

I posted some detailed pictures of the drum sockets in the past. I wonder if a search would still turn them up. I had to repair a couple drum taillight assemblies.
