Title: Headlight Bulb Part #
Post by: Cpt_kludge on May 10, 2022, 07:18:08 pm
I have a '95 U240 and cannot find the headlight bulb number. I want to convert them to LED.
I have seen some from my year that seem to be 9004 HB1 but not sure that is correct.
Is the headlight/parking light cluster from a ford Bronco?
The manuals does not have any filter, bulb or other consumable part #'s
Thanks

Yes from a Bronco and also the F150-250-350 used the same headlight assembly.

The stock GV headlight uses a HB1 9004 12V 65/45W bulb.

In our coach I run Hella HB1 "off road" bulbs rated at 100/80W.  Brightens up the headlights a bit.  :thumbsup:

The thread linked below will provide some details about the GV headlight assembly and how it is removed/installed.

I noticed a BIG improvement just be replacing the headlight assembly with a new one. After nearly 30 years, the old lenses were not letting as much light through. I don't drive at night, but I do have the headlights on during the day. Sure makes it easier to see the coach.
