side marker bulb replacement for clear lenses?

[nullbound]

i have both the clear front turn signal lenses, as well as clear side marker light lenses. while buying replacement colored bulbs for the turn signals was easy (1157's in any color can be found in the fast and furious section of any parts store), i have found little to no info on buying colored replacement bulbs for the side marker lights. the part number i found for the sylvania stock replacement is #97. has anyone else bought the clear side marker lights or does anyone know the part numbers for any colored bulbs for the side marker lights?

Solution found. I contacted http://www.datsunrestore.com which initially reported that the bulbs could be found at any auto parts store like Autozone, Advace, Pep Boys, etc. However, when I had visited Advance Auto the day before I started this thread, they could not help me. I simply walked out of Advance with the stock replacement bulb info (Sylvania #97).

 

DatsunRestore then pointed me to http://www.MidnightMoose.com for the bulbs. This helped a lot in my search. I contacted someone at MidnightMoose and got the following info:

 

Hello,

 

While we don't carry the bulb you need, I think I may be able to help in

your search.

 

According to Sylvania's technical drawings, a model 67 bulb is exactly the

same as a model 97 bulb, as far as fitness is concerned. (Wattage,

lifespan, etc may differ, but the bulbs will fit.) Doing a Google search

for a model 67 bulb, I was able to find both amber and red colored bulbs

available at other retailers. You may even be able to locate this more

common model locally.

 

If you want to take a look at the technical drawings I mentioned, simply go

to this site and enter the bulb model (97 and 67) into the Part Number box.

When the new page pops up, click on the link under "Fig. No." That will

bring up the technical diagram, which you can see it's exactly the same for

both bulb models.

 

Hope that helps.

I was able to search online and found that, as far as fitment is concerned, the side marker lights accept the following bulbs: 67, 97, and 1155. Using this, I found this site: http://www.lightlens.com/coloredbulbs.htm which had the bulbs I wanted. The part numbers I purchased are LB67A and LB67R.

 

Thanks to DatsunRestore and Bill W. from MidnightMoose.com for their help. I hope this info helps for others wanting to do the same clear lens swap.
