Then I went out to my 11004 vin car and took all the door lamps out. Then I got my Sylvania/Osram catalog for 1993 out to start comparing.It boils down to this: All the Wedge base 14 volt lamps have the same diagram or foot print T-31/4 and filament style for our application ( C2F ). The problem I found in trying to put the bulbs in the new sockets was quality control when making the bulbs. They are supposed to be 10.3mm width on the bulb and the base but most were over due to sloppy glass molding. Some were almost 11.00mm. So, I took a small blade screw driver and pushed against the sides of the metal contact in the socket at the top and increased the width just enough for a 161 bulb to fit. The 161,158,194,193,168 all have the same physical properties as above, the only difference is the current draw and the life. So, The 161 is the most common, with the least amount of current draw 0.19 amps and rated 4000 hrs +. Look in the package and try to find the bulbs that don't have little bulges on the base sides. The more uniform they are the easier they will fit. I hope this helps someone clear up as to what to use for the doors. The 161 is also used for the dash lights. Naturally, If you can't find them, I have them. John Hervey www.specialTauto.com P.S. If you have a bulb and need to know the specifications,email me. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 29 Sep 2001 04:08:12 -0000 From: dherv10@xxxxxxx Subject: Miniture Door Lamps Add on. Group, I also found in another car a 12 volt, 5 watt, JAHN UK bulb. It's shorter in length but same 10.3 supposed to be width. It is also closer to 11mm in width. This is equal to in Sylvania/Osram. Number's 2820,2821,2825,2826. The 2825 and 2826 only have a 300 hour life while the 2820 and 2821 have 1000 hrs life. 2821 has the least amount of current draw 0.25amps at 14 volt rated test.Why they did that I don't know, but it's astric that way.

Just remember that this is a prototype and the ones that you will get will be much better looking. They are going to be in the range of 230-270 dollars and are worth every penny.

Kevin, That is so great! I envy you greatly. In the 'six degrees of Kevin Bacon' sense, I guess I have now in a way met JZD too! I know you don't know my name, but I am the kid who was working for Rob Grady during the summer. I hope he said 'nice car' since I was cleaning them! hehehe. Congrats on your meeting. -Aaron Crocco ________________________________________________________ Have you moved into the Net City yet? Come see your new favorite neighborhood!
