What bulbs for interior lights in 67 coupe

[Robert M.]

I just noticed that I am missing all the bulbs in the interior lights for my 67 coupe. I believe there are the two down by the feet and the one in the head liner. What number are the bulbs for these applications? Thanks.

Robert, Look in the owners manual for bulb info. LIsted under Specifications. Lamp Bulb Data.
For example: Courtesy or Dome is a 6 CP #90. But not all #90's are created equal. You need the correct configuration for originality. A original #90 looks like a small grape.l Todays Foreign bulbs have a huge glass/globe on them.
Also not all brands seem to work. Something to do with the amount of solder on the end of the bulb/lamp.
If you go to an Auto Store and get a #90 it's a POC. John

Thank you for this. I bought two sets of 90's for my '67 coupe and couldn't get them to work. After reading this post, I went to my shop, got out my soldering iron, and gave a couple of these bulbs a "tit job". The passenger side lit up right away, the drivers side not. I found out I do have power there, as I can get the bulb to flicker sporadically, but there's something wrong with the socket. If I push the bulb in, it will light, whenI twist it to seat it, it goes out. Problems like this I can handle, not so much when the "smoke gets out".

For best results operationally and for judging, I always buy the full bulb pack that LIC sells. All of them are correct and work properly.

Rob, if you want a picture of correct 90's, let me know. I have a pack of them....Small globe, brass base with Frankenstein ears is what you're looking for....Regards. ARA

No matter how you solve it, it's nice to know that there is a problem here. Me? I'd rather solve a problem myself rather than buying a solution.
