Taillight bulbs, PN? Help?
My tail light bulbs came out as glass shards and twisted bits of metal. Does anyone know what three bulbs go in these? And, if anyone knows the PN for the large yellow one for the front blinker, I'd be gratified to find out that as well.
Thanks millions!

Try John at Midwest Military. He will know the correct ones for both 3 wire and 2 wire tail lights.

If you have a friend that works on airplanes at the airport.............the 1683 is a standard Nav light bulb...........I got a few bags left of em around somewhere. I did sell alot on Ebay a while back too and stocked up a couple local vendors

Yellow bulbs were not stock for M37's lights, if your truck had them they were installed by a previous owner, white ones were all the factory used when they built the trucks.jim lee wrote:

There were no directionals (blinkers) on M37s when they were manufactured.
