Need bulb replacement info

April 25, 2014, 12:21:48 pm

Need to replace both of the floor level night light bulbs in the center bath of my 1995 U300. The only identification on the old bulb is "GE 16" and a google search doesn't come up with any source. The bulb is a bayonet base, 3/8" dia., oal is 1" and the bayonet section is about 3/8" long.  Can't find anything in the manual about these bulbs.

Appreciate all help as usual

Jon,

Just wander around the bulb display at AutoZone or such and you will find what you are looking for.  You can see the bulbs in the blister packs.  That's how I did mine.  You need a low wattage bulb or a LED.

Try ebay and 1046 (not too sure btw) along with SMD LED.
I'm trying to figure out which bulb you are referring to.
Is it one of the little G4 type bulbs that have the little bayonet push-n base or is it the same style with the 2 wire push-n base?
If it is one of the straight wire push-n's, the little round quarter sized soft white is the one most everyone uses (& the reason for their expense<.)

Did the AutoZone trip - thanks Keith.  Ended up with a sylvania 161 - 14 vdc - 2.7 watts.  $5.00 for 2 bulbs and and about $13.00 worth of gas

Thanks :-)
