Side Ext Light Identification - 99 Vantare H3

[SkinnerVic]

Hello All,

OK, I'm flummoxed on what bayonet bulb (and voltage) that is being used here on Bay 1, 3, and 5? I'm pretty sure it's a BA15D, but I have not my ride around to check voltage. Picture attached. Any ideas?

On my 2001 Marathon (H), I replaced all the side lights with LED bulbs from SuperBright LED.
A slight grind was necessary to the hole where the bulb fit thru, an easy task with my dremmell.
Now they're super bright and very low power draw.

I don't remember the Voltage on that circuit, but the bulbs handle 10-30v.

My fixtures are yellowed from the Sun over the years along with damaged seals, so I replaced all my fixtures with these:

Very Nice - don't really have the lens in front of me to check fit. They are mounted sideways in the fixture.
BTW - Whoever did the stamped concrete work there did a nice job (in my wheelhouse).

I'm liking this option better because I was looking to replace the seals and it may be less fumbling to do a new fixture with the seal than do a new bulb / custom cut gasket job.

I will keep you two posted. Thanks for the input!

I recommend the Maxxima MWL-33 referenced. It works great on the high quality Marathon light assemblies. It is not as wide as the pickup truck cargo lights you have.

The MWL-33 lights do have a lot of straight out light splash that doesn't make them great for flush mounting near eye level light like many door entry lights.
