I now have the owners manual, and it shows type 67 bulbs for upper, and 1073 for lower. However, the only ones of these I can find are clear. Since the housings are clear, the bulbs should be amber. Does anyone know of a source for these bulbs in amber?

Thanks,
Jeff

I may have missed an earlier post, but have you removed the lens to see what type bulbs & sockets you have? Despite the manual Specifications, I've seen very few early '80s with the small 5 watt #67 clear bulb in the upper socket. And I suspect these were used with the Amber lensed units (76-79 or so). The manuals seem not to have changed when the lenses did.

You are right, with the clear lens, you should find a socket configured for a dual-filament bulb, the AMBER #1157NA. The interesting thing is that only the 5 watt filament was wired. My thought was that they might have gone to the 2-filament socket to use the 21 watt part for DRLs in Europe.

So that's what I did on 3 or 4 cars we had -- up to an '86. Added the needed contact & wired it thru normally closed relay points from a Key-On power source. Then picked the relay from a parking light fuse. Worked great. Much better than those Daytime Infuriating Lights on most cars now.

Bruce,

Thanks for the advice. Some shops here have said that the top can take an 1156, but the locating pins are not offset like on an 1157. So from what you are saying, I should just put 1157's in top and bottom, right?

Thanks,
Jeff

...using clear lens wth Amber inset.

Guess the Owner's Manuals can't be trusted too much. I have one for 1984 that *still* calls for the #67 in the top. That may have been valid thru 1980, as an '80 Owner's Manual cover shows all Amber lenses. (But who trusts Owner's Manuals?)
