Spot Light Bulb for 79 F36

Post by mpulsev10 »

Looking for replacement spot light bulb. The one i pulled out has 3 wire - hi-lo beam 12 volts. It has no part #s on it. Tried local shops to no avail. One marina has one for $54 but it is way over priced and only a 2 wire. I found a few GE bulbs on ebay for around 10-15$ but not sure if they will work no luck anywhere else, help please ?

do you have the model of the light. is it a 6" spotlight? etc. new from some online stores looks about like what you have found. if ebays size will fit in the housing then if your using a 12v system then a 12v bulb will work. if its new, price is great! but if its used from ebay you really cant be to certain if it will last and you may be right back here again. good luck.

7" bulb. I found a TON of them on gelighting.com they seem to be par56 in size but none of them have the 3 screw terminals. I would almost gaurantee a company like jabsco uses GE style bulbs and just puts there name on it and quadruples the price.

thanks.

I spoke more with my local marine shop, he said they used to come in spot & flood for the 2 different elements. I cannot find it anywhere though, seems to be discontinued.
