Which bulb for the door handle light?

September 24, 2012, 02:46:19 pm

Need to replace the little bulb in the bottom of the acrylic handle.  Searched the forum - I know it's been posted before - but cannot find it.

Would like to use a LED.  Anyone have a part number?

Thanks in advance.

Mine didn't have a bulb when we bought the coach. I put a ruler next to the socket, took a picture, took the picture and scale to the auto parts store, and found something that worked. Unfortunately, I don't remember the number on the bulb. It was a small bayonet mount.

I took my old bulb into NAPA and they gave me a #51 bayonet to fit it.  very low watts,  3-5 I think

Keith, I used bulb # 57 by EIKO in my '97 coach. Same bulb for our '03 coach.
 Got a box online. Good luck

A # 57 converts to a BA9s.
